Maharashtra $$96878627$$
Andhra pradesh $$76210007$$
Bihar $$82998509$$
Uttar predesh $$166197921$$
$$\textbf{Step 1: Arranging in ascending order}$$
Ascending order - process of arranging numbers from smallest to biggest.
$$76210007 < 82998509 < 96878627 < 166197921$$
$$\therefore$$ Ascending order is $$76210007, 82998509, 96878627, 166197921$$
$$\textbf{Hence, the arrangement of the states in ascending order of their population:}$$
$$\textbf{Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh}$$
$$\textbf{Step 2: Arranging in descending order:}$$
Now for descending order just reverse the above order, which is
