Statement 1 gives y = x + 5 Not sufficient
Statement 2 gives 5y = 6x Not sufficient

Taking both Statement 1 + Statement 2

1) B = A + 5 (insuff)

2) 6A = 5B or A = 5/6B(Insuff)

Combined:
Take A = 5/6B and substitute B=5/6B + 5

B - 5/6B = 5

6/6B - 5/6B = 5

1/6B = 5

B = 30 etc.

Choice C should be correct.
