Let's call one of the numbers "x". Then the other number would be "x + 11ec1544_3777_7e65_8a2d_195cde076c11_TBX8671_11".

Their sum is "11ec1544_3777_5754_8a2d_7b3b94d5e75b_TBX8671_11", so we can create the equation:

x + (x + 11ec1544_3777_7e65_8a2d_195cde076c11_TBX8671_11) = 11ec1544_3777_5754_8a2d_7b3b94d5e75b_TBX8671_11

Simplifying this equation, we get:

2x + 11ec1544_3777_7e65_8a2d_195cde076c11_TBX8671_11 = 11ec1544_3777_5754_8a2d_7b3b94d5e75b_TBX8671_11

Subtracting "11ec1544_3777_7e65_8a2d_195cde076c11_TBX8671_11" from both sides, we get:

2x = 11ec1544_3777_5754_8a2d_64822ab4d4aa_TBX8671_11

Dividing both sides by 2, we get:

x = 11ec1544_3777_7e67_8a2d_7d5f82399764_TBX8671_11

Therefore, one of the numbers is "x" or 11ec1544_3777_7e67_8a2d_7d5f82399764_TBX8671_11, and the other number is "x + 11ec1544_3777_7e65_8a2d_195cde076c11_TBX8671_11" or 11ec1544_3777_7e68_8a2d_b33404fe2559_TBX8671_11.

So the answer is choice B.
