At the very least, part (iii) is more than just writing the answer, because you would write and then have to realise the denominator. For (i) and (ii) it never hurts to put more information if you're afraid of losing a mark.

You may establish that there is a consistency between the solutions and what was said by yanujw above.

Looking at the solutions, it doesn't seem like there is much required in terms of actual working anyway.
