Question-based on, "Comma separated list".

I have tried it many times by now and confused why it is incorrect.

 

Here are the answers I have thought but all wrong:

1)(11.0) (12.0)    2. (11.0,12.0)   3. (12,11)    4. 12,11     

 5. (12.0,11.0)     6. 12.0, 11.0    7.(11.0,12.0)

 

Any help would be appreciated...
