I. Short Answer Questions:
A1. Spreadsheet is a computer application program designed to enter, modify,
evaluate and analyse data in a tabular form. MS-Excel is a part of MS-Office suitewhich enables to work as an electronic spreadsheet. Its application are -Report card preparation, Generating cash memos, Cricket score board. A2. ‘UNDO’ (Ctrl +Z) option is used to reverse the last action performed in a worksheet. ‘REDO’ (Ctrl +Y) option gets activated after using Undo option and lets the user reverse the task done by using Undo option. Both UNDO and REDO option are present in the Quick access tool bar. A3. Define: a) Worksheet: Each page of a wookbook is called a worksheet, which is Divided into rows and columns. By default there are three Worksheet in MS-Excel-2007.Default worksheet is Sheet1. b) Workbook: Workbook is an Excel file, which is a collection of worksheets. By default the work book is named as BOOK1. A workbook is saved with the extension .xlsx on the disk. c) Cell: A cell is a smallest unit of a worksheet, which is formed at the intersection of a row and a column. Every cell has its own address, column name followed by the row number. Eg: A1- Column ‘A’ and Row number ‘1’ Data is entered in these cells.A cell may contain text, string, number, formula, date or time as data types d) Active Cell: Active cell is the currently selected cell in a worksheet. It is the highlighted boundary around a cell.Here data is entered or result of an operation is seen. e) Formula bar: It is used to write formulae to perform different mathematical and logical tasks.
II. Write the values in a cell to perform these arithmetical tasks on a
spreadsheet: A1. Step-1: Type first five odd numbers from cell A1 to A5 using Autofill function. Step-2: Type the formula in A6 as, =Product(A1:A5) or =(A1*A2*A3*A4) A2. Step-1: Type the numbers in the cell A1 to A4. Step-2: Type the formula in A5 as, =87+89+91+66 or =Sum(A1:A4) or =Sum(87,89,91,66) A3. Step-1: Type the numbers in the cell A1 and A2. Step-2: Type the formula cell A3 as, =1000-999 or =(A1-A2) A4. Step-1: Type the numbers in the cell A1 and A2. Step-2: Type the formula cell A3 as, =612/6 or =(A1/A2) A5. Step-1: Type the first three prime numbers in the cell A1, A2 and A3. Step-2: Type the formula cell A4 as, =2+3+5 or =sum(A1:A3)
III. Write the formulae in the appropriate cell to perform these
