1) Last Sunday, the Stewart Vineyard sold each case of red wine for 3 times as much as each case of white wine.

2) Last Sunday, the Stewart Vineyard sold 2 times as many cases of white wine as it sold of red wine.

Given, $$SP_{r}=r$$ , $$SP_{w}=w$$

Question stem:- Ratio of revenues or, $$\frac{r*n_{r}}{w*n_{w}}$$=? where $$n_{r}$$ & $$n_{w}$$ are the no of cases of red and white wine respectively.

St1:- Last Sunday, the Stewart Vineyard sold each case of red wine for 3 times as much as each case of white wine.
Or, r=3*w
We require the value of selling price of red wines and white wines per case or a relationship between their selling prices.
Insufficient.

St2:-Last Sunday, the Stewart Vineyard sold 2 times as many cases of white wine as it sold of red wine.
Or, $$n_{w}=2*n_{r}$$
We require the no of red wines and white wines per case or a relationship between their unit cases.
Insufficient.

Combined, we have,
$$\frac{r*n_{r}}{w*n_{w}}$$=$$\frac{3w*n_{r}}{w*2n_{r}}$$=$$\frac{3}{2}$$
Ans. (C)

We need to know that:

Total Revenue = (Selling price per case) * (Number of cases sold)

To get the ratio of red wine revenue to white wine revenue, we need both the statements as both the statements fill a neccessary void in my equation. Hence, answer should be (C).
