If screening effect is not considered, and thus effective nuclear charge is the atomic number then the larger radius out of Li,Na is 11.
(consider only atomic number)

Solution
The atomic number of Li is 3 whereas that of Na is 11. The effective nuclear charge of sodium is higher so its atomic radius should be small. But a new shell is added for sodium. Hence, its atomic radius is large. Hence, the correct answer is 11.
