E Correct answer
Explanation

From statement II: Vivek's present age is 25. Five years ago, Vivek was 20, and the ratio of Vivek:Vishal was 2:1, so Vishal was 10 five years ago. Therefore, Vishal's present age is 15. Statement I only gives a relationship without actual values. Statement II alone is sufficient to find Vishal's age, so both statements together are sufficient but statement II alone is also sufficient.
