The correct answer is

West Bengal and Madhya Pradesh

A qualifying state must have a literacy rate above 70% and a population below 100 million.

Uttar Pradesh has a population of \(199.8\) million, which exceeds 100 million, so it is excluded.

Maharashtra has a population of \(112.4\) million, which exceeds 100 million, so it is excluded.

Bihar has a literacy rate of \(63.8\%\), which is below 70%, so it is excluded.

West Bengal has a population of \(91.3\) million and a literacy rate of \(76.3\%\), satisfying both conditions.

Madhya Pradesh has a population of \(72.6\) million and a literacy rate of \(70.6\%\), satisfying both conditions.

Hence, West Bengal and Madhya Pradesh are the pair of states that satisfy both conditions.
