Question

As per the census of 2001, the population of four states are given below. Arrange the states in ascending and descending order of their population.

(a) Maharashtra	96878627
(b) Andhra Pradesh	76210007
(c) Bihar	82998509
(d) Uttar Pradesh	166197921

Answer 1

On arranging the population of four states in ascending order, we get

76210007 < 82998509 < 96878627 < 166197921

(Andhra Pradesh) (Bihar) (Maharashtra) (Uttar Pradesh)

Again, rearranging the population of four states in descending order, we get

166197921 > 96878627 > 82998509 > 76210007

(Uttar Pradesh) (Maharashtra) (Bihar) (Andhra Pradesh)
