    D.

    12 and 11

    Correct option is A

    Given: 50 × 3 + 12 × 5 – (66 ÷ 2) + 11 × 4 – 22 = 160
    Operation preference wiseSymbolBrackets[],,()Orders, of(power),(root),ofDivision÷Multiplication×Addition+Subtraction\begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline\textbf{Operation preference wise} & \textbf{Symbol} \\\hline\text{Brackets} &[],{}, () \\ \hline \text{Orders, of} & (power), √ (root) , of \\ \hline \text{Division}& ÷ \\ \hline \text{Multiplication} & × \\ \hline \text{Addition} & + \\ \hline \text{Subtraction} & - \\\hline\end{array}​​
    After interchanging the numbers in the given equation will be: 
    Option (a): 3 and 2
    50 × 2 + 12 × 5 – (66 ÷ 3) + 11 × 4 – 22 = 160
    50 × 2 + 12 × 5 – 22 + 11 × 4 – 22 = 160
    100 + 60 - 22 + 44 -22 = 160
    160 + 44 - 22 - 22 = 160
    204 - 44 = 160
    160 = 160
    It is correct.
    Option (b): 5 and 3
    50 × 5 + 12 × 3 – (66 ÷ 2) + 11 × 4 – 22 = 160
    50 × 5 + 12 × 3 – 33 + 11 × 4 – 22 = 160
    250 + 36 - 33 + 44 - 22 = 160
    250 + 36 + 44 - 33 - 22 = 160
    330 - 33 - 22 = 160
    330 - 55 = 160 
    275 ≠ 160
    It is incorrect.
    Option (c): 22 and 2
    50 × 3 + 12 × 5 – (66 ÷ 22) + 11 × 4 – 2 = 160
    50 × 3 + 12 × 5 – 3 + 11 × 4 – 2 = 160
    150 + 60 - 3 + 44 - 2 = 160
    210 + 44 - 3 - 2 = 160
    254 - 5 = 160
    249 ≠ 160
    It is incorrect.
    Option (d):12 and 11
    50 × 3 + 11 × 5 – (66 ÷ 2) + 12 × 4 – 22 = 160
    50 × 3 + 11 × 5 – 33 + 12 × 4 – 22 = 160
    150 + 55 - 33 + 48 - 22 = 160
    205 + 48 - 33 - 22 = 160 
    253 - 33 - 22 = 160 
    198 ≠ 160
    It is incorrect.
    Thus, the correct option is (a) 3 and 2.
