Incorrect spelling, explanation: this form is incorrect because we add suffix -st to ordinal numbers ending with first. Here, eleven has got ordinal form eleventh, therefore it ends with -th. This is why 11th is the correct way we write this ordinal number.
Correct spelling, explanation: this ordinal number should be written as 11th because they don’t pronounce it with first at the end (which would then indicate -st suffix), but we pronounce it eleventh, so with -th at the end. This is the reason for writing it as 11th, not 11st.
