prompt: P(red)>P(white)
st(1) r/(b+w)> w/(b+r) implies given b is fixed parameter, the relationship of r/w and w/r will be as following r/w > w/r.
Example b=1,r=2,w=3 ---> 2/(1+3)<3/(1+2), 2/4<1 and 2<3 or applying the same to r and w, r<w
In our case, it's opposite since r/w > w/r and r>w
Sufficient to answer Yes
st(2) b-w>r implies only b>r+w which is again not explicit for our knowing about r and w individual values. Not Sufficient

1) r/(b+w)> w/(b+r)
2) b-w > r
