Using events and events collected by the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider, we report the first observation of the hadronic decays of and , both with statistical significance greater than . Their branching fractions are determined to be and . The ratio of their branching fractions is , which deviates from theoretical expectation by 4.6. Here the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. We have also examined the invariant mass distributions in these decays, and no significant enhancement near the near threshold is found.
