Sir in sec C of paper, if we do not apply formulas in spreadsheet and instead manually calculate via manual calculator and then just simply put the figures in spreadsheet then would it be fine or marks would be deducted?

If the figures you get are wrong and there are no workings for the marker to see where you have gone wrong, then you will lose zero for that bit. However, if again, your figures are wrong, but this time there are workings in place for the said marker to follow, then at most you will lose half marks for that incorrect figure.

Humai: What Mohammed has written is correct (except for mistyping in the second line). If the figures are wrong and there are no workings, then you get zero marks for that part.

September 11, 2020 at 9:35 am #584939Sir what I meant to ask is that if we do not apply formula in spreadsheet and instead calculate via manual calculator and put figs in cell, however if we have shown working then would it be fine? Or is it also necessary to use formula of spreadsheet ?
