Solution

The correct option is A $5$
Here, we can see that the signs of both the integers are different.

Step 1: Write absolute values of both integers.
$| 11 | = 11 | - 6 | = 6$

Step 2: Subtract the absolute values.
$11 - 6 = 5$

Step 3: Put the original sign of the larger number to the answer.

In the given question, $11$ is the larger number and the original sign of $11$ is positive. So, we put positive sign to the difference, i.e., $11 + (- 6) = + 5 = 5$ .

Therefore, $11 + (- 6) = 5$

$∴$ Option (a.) is correct one.
