Solution 2

Convert the hours to minutes, then add them together.
Then convert the summed value to hours and minutes as a string:

SQL

SELECT CAST(TotMins / 60 AS NVARCHAR) + 
       ':' + 
       CAST(TotMins % 60 AS NVARCHAR) 
FROM (SELECT SUM((Hours * 60) + Minutes) AS TotMins 
      FROM MyTable) t
