\mathrm{A\overset{1R,1B}{\rightarrow}\frac{^{3}C_{1}\times \, ^{1}C_{1}}{^{6}C_{2}}}
\mathrm{B\overset{1R,1B}{\rightarrow}\frac{^{2}C_{1}\times \, ^{3}C_{1}}{ ^{n+5}C_{2}}}

\mathrm{P\left ( \frac{A}{1R,1B} \right )= \frac{\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{^{3}C_{1}\times^{1}C_{1} }{^{6}C_{2}}}{\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{^{3}C_{1}\times^{1}C_{1} }{^{6}C_{2}}+\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{^{2}C_{1}\times^{3}C_{1} }{^{n+5}C_{2}}}}
\mathrm{\frac{6}{11}= \frac{\frac{3}{15}}{\frac{3}{15}+\frac{6}{\left ( n+5 \right )_{C_{2}}}}}
\mathrm{6\left [ \frac{1}{15}+\frac{2\times 2}{\left ( n+5 \right )\left ( n+4 \right )} \right ]= \frac{1}{15}\times 11}
\mathrm{\frac{24}{\left ( n+5 \right )\left ( n+4 \right )}= \frac{5}{15}}
\mathrm{n^{2}+9n+20= 72}
\mathrm{n^{2}+9n-52= 0}
\mathrm{\left ( n+13 \right )\left ( n-4 \right )= 0}
\mathrm{n= -13,n= 4}
\mathrm{\therefore \: \: n= 4}
The correct answer is option (c)
