E Correct answer
Explanation

Both statements together are sufficient. From Statement I: father:mother = 6:5. From Statement II: father:son = 4:1 and mother = 30 years. Using mother's age with ratio 6:5, father = (6/5)×30 = 36 years. Neither statement alone gives father's age - Statement I lacks actual values, Statement II needs Statement I's ratio to find father from mother's age.
