Why A is not one of the correct answer choices?

Let's assume that \(X=5a\) and \(Y=6a\) as they are in the ratio of 5:6
Therefore,
\(X+Y=5a+6a=11a\)
Here, it seems like 11 is the highest prime factor of \(X+Y\) but what if \(a\) is another prime number greater than 11, in that case \(a\) will the highest prime factor of \(X+Y\).
For example
\(X=65\)
\(Y=78\)
Then, \(X+Y=143\)
Here, the highest prime factor will be 13.
