    Statement 1:
    r/3s=1/4
    r/s=3/4 and s/r=4/3
    Therefore, r/s<s/r -----Sufficient

    Statement 2:
    s=r+4
    This implies that s>r (Since both r and s are positive i.e. >0)
    Therefore r/s<s/r -----Sufficient

    Answer D.

    I agree with raj, the answer is D.

    Here's a trick that could save you time if the problem were more complex:
    Since both numbers are positive, you can actually think of the question as asking is (R^2) > (S^2), or even is R > S. This thinking works because you are dealing with inequalities and they are both positive.
