    Correct Answer
    A. Cells
    Explanation
    Cells are where you get down to business and enter data in a worksheet. In a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel, a worksheet is made up of a grid of cells. Each cell can contain data, such as numbers, text, or formulas. By entering data into cells, you can perform calculations, organize information, and create charts or graphs. Therefore, cells are the correct answer as they are the fundamental units for data entry and manipulation in a worksheet.

  • 4. 

    Numbers and Letters are called Data

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given statement is true because numbers and letters are both types of data. Data refers to any information that can be stored and processed by a computer or used to make decisions. Numbers can represent quantities or values, while letters can represent characters or symbols. Therefore, both numbers and letters are considered data in the context of computing.

    • True

    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false. The cell in the worksheet in which you can type data is not called the stem cells. The correct term for the cell in which you can type data is simply called a "cell" or "data cell". Stem cells, on the other hand, are a type of biological cell that can differentiate into other types of cells in the body.

    (Asterisk) is used as the 'Multiplication operator' in MS Excel

    • True

    • False

    In MS Excel, the asterisk symbol (*) is indeed used as the multiplication operator. This means that when you want to multiply two or more numbers together in a formula, you would use the asterisk symbol between them. For example, if you want to multiply the numbers in cell A1 and A2, you would write the formula "=A1*A2". Therefore, the statement "Asterisk is used as the 'Multiplication operator' in MS Excel" is true.
