Correct Answer: 4 and 16


Solution : Given:
13 + 4 ÷ 16 × 5 – 22 = 11

Let's check the options –
First option: 13 and 22
On interchanging the numbers, we get –
= 22 + 4 ÷ 16 × 5 – 13
= 22 + 1.25 – 13
= 10.25 ≠ 11
Second option: 16 and 22
On interchanging the numbers, we get –
= 13 + 4 ÷ 22 × 5 – 16
= 13 + 0.91 – 16
= –2.09 ≠ 11
Third option: 13 and 16
On interchanging the numbers, we get –
= 16 + 4 ÷ 13 × 5 – 22
= 16 + 1.54 – 22
= –4.46 ≠ 11
Fourth option: 4 and 16
On interchanging the numbers, we get –
= 13 + 16 ÷ 4 × 5 – 22
= 13 + 20 – 22
= 11

Here, only the fourth option satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
