E Correct answer
Explanation

Neither statement alone is sufficient. Statement I only gives a ratio (2:3), and Statement II only gives an age difference (6 years). However, combining both statements: if Naimish = 2x and Alok = 3x from the ratio, and Alok = Naimish + 6, then 3x = 2x + 6, giving x = 6, so Naimish is 12 years old now and will be 20 after 8 years.
