I. (a+c)/(b+d) < c/d
II. (a+c)/(b+d) < a/b
III. (a+c)/(b+d) = a/b + c/d
A. None
B. I only
C. II only
D. I and II
E. I and III
I. (a+c)/(b+d) < c/d
II. (a+c)/(b+d) < a/b
III. (a+c)/(b+d) = a/b + c/d

a/b < c/d
as a, b, c and d are positive integers, rearranging the terms of the inequality
a/c < b/d
Adding 1 to each side of the inequality
a/c + 1 < b/d + 1
(a+c)/c < (b+d)/d
(a+c)/(b+d) < c/d
I. (a+c)/(b+d) < c/d This is always true
II. (a+c)/(b+d) < a/b
(a+c)/(b+d) is less than c/d but whether it is less than a/b is not known. Not always true
III. (a+c)/(b+d) = a/b + c/d
As (a+c)/(b+d) < c/d, left hand side cannot be equal to the right hand side. False
IMO B
