This is clock arithmetic. If we go 2 hours past 11
on a 12 hour clock, we get 1.
Or, more abstractly, 11+2 = 1(mod 12).
or
11 + 2 = 13. When 13 is divided by 12, the
remainder is 1.

Why should we bother ourselves entertaining this type of question? The answer here is is 11 + 2 = 13 but 13, can't be greater nor less than 13. This is the reason why 11 + 2 = 1 is not correct.

This comes from dividing by zero, and no, it's not correct.
One way is
11*0 = 0 and (-1)*0 = 0
therefore
11*0 = (-1)*0
11*0 = (1-2)*0 (clearly -1 = 1 - 2 at this point)
11*0/0 = (1 - 2)*0/0 (divide both sides by zero)
11 = 1 - 2, or 11 + 2 = 1.

because if you look on a clock 11 + 2 hours give you 1 o'clock

of course it is.
11 a.m. + 2 hours = 1 p.m.

11(assume binary) + 2(decimal ) and we have only two bit register to store the result and you will get 1
But the method is really mathematically challenged

Because the person doing the equation is mathematically challenged.
Because it is being done in something other than base 10, which you don't show.
