Is b>g?

1) $$\frac{b}{b+g}>\frac{g}{b}$$..
Since b and g are positive, cross multiply..
$$(b+g)*g<b*b$$..
$$bg+g^2<b^2........bg<b^2-g^2$$...
Now b* g is positive, so b^2-g^2 will be positive or b>g
Suff

2) $$\frac{g}{b+g}<\frac{b}{g}$$..
Since b and g are positive, cross multiply..
$$[(b+g)*b>g*g$$..
$$bg+b^2>g^2........-bg<b^2-g^2$$...
So b^2-g^2 is greater than a negative number,-bg..
So it can be both +ive and -ive
Insuff
