(a) =(equal to), +(plus) or –(minus) sign.


(b) Average or mean

(c) Left to right


(d) Column and row

(e) Smallest
2. Select the most suitable alternative:-

(a) (i) Text entry


(b) (i) A10

(c) (i) Towards right side in the cell


(d) (ii) Towards left side in the cell

(e) (iii) MAX()


3. Differentiate between:

(a) MAX() and MIN()


Ans: MAX() function is used to find the largest value from the given range of cells whereas
MIN() function is used to find the smallest value from the given range of cells.
(b) SUM() and AVERAGE()

Ans: Sum() is used to find the sum of the values of a range of cells whereas average() is used
to find the average (mean) of the values of a range of cells.
4. Answer the following questions:-
(a) What is formula? Explain different types of formula used in spreadsheet.

Ans: It is one of the most important features of spreadsheet package. It helps in doing
calculation like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division etc.

Formula with Cell Address


Each cell in the worksheet has a unique address by the combination of its column name

followed by the row number e.g. A10, B15 etc. A formula can be written using the cell address
and the related arithmetical operator. For example if you want to add the content of the three

cell B1, C1 and D1 the formula written will be ‘=B1+C1+D1’.

Formula with Cell Name

In formula with cell name, instead of writing the cell address we write the heading given to a particular
column data. For example if you want to add the three subject marks you can write formula as
=’English marks’+’Hindi marks’+’Math marks’ using cell name.

Formula with In-Built Function

There are in-built functions in spreadsheet package like Calc or Excel which can directly be used as
formula. For example: A formula ‘B5=B2+B3+B4’ can be written as: B5 =SUM(B2:B4) using in-built
function.

(b) What is AUTOSUM?

Ans: It is a shortcut tool for adding the values of a range of cells. Select the range of cells whose data
have to be added, and then click on the Autosum (Ʃ) button which lies at the formula bar.

(c) What is sorting? Explain the different steps of sorting data in a worksheet.

Ans: Sorting means arranging the data on the basis of some defined criteria. For example, to find the
highest/lowest marks of a subject, the data of the subject marks can be either sorted in ascending or
descending order. Sorting can be also done on non-numeric data also i.e. on alphabets , like on name of
students.
Steps to sort data-
 Select the range of data to sort.
 Click on Data Sort. Sort dialog box appears.
 Select the criteria on which you want to sort the data.
 Click on OK button the data get sorted on the basis of column header.
5. Find the solution for the given situation in one word/line.

(a) Formula using cell address
