Official Solution:

Is $$\frac{a}{b} \lt \frac{a+c}{b+d}$$? As all numbers are positive we can safely crossmultiply: is $$ab+ad \lt ab+bc$$? Or: is $$ad \lt bc$$? Or: is $$\frac{a}{b} \lt \frac{c}{d}$$?

(1) $$\frac{a}{b} \lt \frac{c}{d}$$. Directly gives the answer. Sufficient.

(2) $$a+c \lt b+d$$. Not sufficient.
