Using samples of 102 million $\Upsilon(1S)$ and 158 million $\Upsilon(2S)$ events collected with the Belle detector, we study exclusive hadronic decays of these two bottomonium resonances to $\ks K^+ \pi^-$ and charge-conjugate (c.c.) states, $\pi^+ \pi^- \pi^0 \pi^0$, and $\pi^+ \pi^- \pi^0$, and to the two-body Vector-Pseudoscalar ($K^{\ast}(892)^0\bar{K}^0+ {\rm c.c.}$, $K^{\ast}(892)^-K^+ + {\rm c.c.}$, $\omega\pi^0$, and $\rho\pi$) final states. For the first time, signals are observed in the modes $\Upsilon(1S) \to \ks K^+ \pi^- + {\rm c.c.}$, $\pi^+ \pi^- \pi^0 \pi^0$, and $\Upsilon(2S) \to \pi^+ \pi^- \pi^0 \pi^0$, and evidence is found for the modes $\Upsilon(1S)\to \pi^+ \pi^- \pi^0$, $K^{\ast}(892)^0 \bar{K}^0+ {\rm c.c.}$, and $\Upsilon(2S) \to \ks K^+ \pi^- + {\rm c.c.}$ Branching fractions are measured for all the processes, while 90% confidence level upper limits on the branching fractions are also set for the modes with a statistical significance of less than $3\sigma$. The ratios of the branching fractions of $\Upsilon(2S)$ and $\Upsilon(1S)$ decays into the same final state are used to test a perturbative QCD prediction for OZI-suppressed bottomonium decays.
