after running the command
sudo apt-get install subversion
and checking the version of svn using command
svn --version
the version was 1.9. But the latest version is 1.11. How should I get the latest version.

Subversion 1.11 is not in Ubuntu yet.
You can give a look at the available PPAs but you may have to install 1.11 by hand if you need this version.
I had the same problem, so since nobody answered and I got it working. It might be helpful to share.
According to the binary packages page, you can get the 1.11.1 version from the WANdisco PPA. (It's not very obvious they have the newer version at first glance.) Although they send you the link to the install script by e-mail, you can find it in here.
Download the script and make it executable:
wget chmod +x subversion_installer_1.11.sh I upgraded successfully from the subversion 1.9.7 Ubuntu Server 18.04.2 package to 1.11.1.
One problem I had stumbled upon was a conflict between libapache2-svn and libapache2-mod-svn versions, so the upgrade couldn't continue. In my case, we don't use WebDAV, so I just removed/purged them both and upgraded subversion:
sudo apt-get remove libapache2-svn sudo apt-get remove libapache2-mod-svn Note that there are only 64-bit binaries:
svn --version svn, version 1.11.1 (r1850623) compiled Jun 17 2019, 17:51:58 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu First, try to update the packages using the following command:
sudo apt-get update then Install using these following commands
sudo apt-get install subversion sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-svn
