Let Required ratio be K : 1 .
Then , By section formula , the Coordinates of P are :
P ( 9K + 15 / K + 1 , 20K + 5 / K + 1 ).
But , this points is given as P ( 11 , Y ).
Therefore,
9K + 15 / K + 1 = 11
9K + 15 = 11K + 11
2K = 4
K = 2.
So , the required ratio is 2 : 1.
Putting K = 2 in P , we get
Y = 20 × 2 + 5 / ( 2 + 1 )
Y = 45/3
Y = 15.
