Let me try to explain.
Conclusion: Today Ritesh age = 57.
Combine I and II, we know that in 2006, Ritesh's age >60, work > 30 years, fulfil office X rule.

Ritesh will complete 30 years of service in office X in April 2000.
The word "will" is very important.
It means date "now" is before April 2000 and at the moment Ritesh is age 60-3 = 57.

In statement I, data is insufficient as no present age is given, just the experience!

Statement 1 is not required here as it is mentioned in statement 2 that Ritesh is still 3 years remaining for 60 and this indicates that he cannot retire. Hence only statement 2 is sufficient.
