It's obvious that Google replaced "ny" with "New York City", while Bing replaced it with "New York State". If you're searching for [new york], Google will show information about the city, while Bing's data refers to the state.

To disambiguate your query, you need to search for [ny city population] or [ny state population] and both search engines will return similar answers.
What if you search for [ronaldo age]? Here's what you get: 28 years (Google) and 36 years (Bing). Google mentions that the answer is for Cristiano Ronaldo, but Bing doesn't.

Most of the top search results from both Bing and Google are about Cristiano Ronaldo.
To make things more confusing, Bing also provides information about Cristiano Ronaldo:

To sum up, it's a good idea to disambiguate your query and to check the answers provided by search engines.
