Answer: D

Line the decimal points up and add each column.

(i)

\[ 6202.5 + 620.25 + 62.025 + 6.2025 + 0.62025 = 6891.59775 \]

(ii)

\[ 5.064 + 3.98 + 0.7036 + 7.6 + 0.3 + 2 = 19.6476 \]

The first sum has five decimal places because its longest term does, and the second has four for the same reason. Checking the number of decimal places is often enough to eliminate wrong options without adding at all.
