(A) Let the position vectors of points $P, Q, R, S, E,$ and $F$ be $\vec{p}, \vec{q}, \vec{r}, \vec{s}, \vec{e},$ and $\vec{f}$ respectively.Given the equation: $\overrightarrow{SP} + 5\overrightarrow{SQ} + 6\overrightarrow{SR} = \overrightarrow{0}$.Substituting the position vectors: $(\vec{p} - \vec{s}) + 5(\vec{q} - \vec{s}) + 6(\vec{r} - \vec{s}) = \overrightarrow{0}$.$\vec{p} + 5\vec{q} + 6\vec{r} - 12\vec{s} = \overrightarrow{0} \Rightarrow \vec{s} = \frac{\vec{p} + 5\vec{q} + 6\vec{r}}{12}$.Since $E$ is the mid-point of $PR$, $\vec{e} = \frac{\vec{p} + \vec{r}}{2}$.Since $F$ is the mid-point of $QR$, $\vec{f} = \frac{\vec{q} + \vec{r}}{2}$.Vector $\overrightarrow{EF} = \vec{f} - \vec{e} = \frac{\vec{q} + \vec{r}}{2} - \frac{\vec{p} + \vec{r}}{2} = \frac{\vec{q} - \vec{p}}{2}$.Vector $\overrightarrow{ES} = \vec{s} - \vec{e} = \frac{\vec{p} + 5\vec{q} + 6\vec{r}}{12} - \frac{\vec{p} + \vec{r}}{2} = \frac{\vec{p} + 5\vec{q} + 6\vec{r} - 6\vec{p} - 6\vec{r}}{12} = \frac{5\vec{q} - 5\vec{p}}{12} = \frac{5}{12}(\vec{q} - \vec{p})$.Therefore, the ratio of the lengths is $\frac{|\overrightarrow{EF}|}{|\overrightarrow{ES}|} = \frac{|\frac{1}{2}(\vec{q} - \vec{p})|}{|\frac{5}{12}(\vec{q} - \vec{p})|} = \frac{1/2}{5/12} = \frac{1}{2} 	imes \frac{12}{5} = \frac{6}{5} = 1.2$.
