D Correct answer
Explanation

Statement I gives Priya's age as 37 - 5 = 32 years. Statement II tells us Shraddha is 6 years older than Ram, and Ram is 24 years older than Ajay. However, we don't know Ajay's age or any direct link between Shraddha and Priya. Without knowing Ajay's actual age or any relationship connecting the two statements, we cannot determine either Shraddha's age or the ratio between Shraddha and Priya's ages. Option D is correct - the statements together are insufficient.
