Using Google Sheets to Answer Questions

[CG]

I am using Google Sheets to find answers to questions that have tabulated data.

Steps followed:

1. open the pdf version of the questions.

2. Copy the table by highlighting 

3. Paste Special in Google sheets 

4. Use Data>>Split Text to Columns

5. Select space as the separator.

6. sanitise the data and check for any differences

Hello, 

Though it is a good thing that you found a way to solve it using Google sheets, it is not advisable to use google sheets to solve the problems as it not only won't improve your problem solving skills, also you will find it extremely difficult in qualifier exam where you won't be having access to Google Sheets. Also, use the calculator provided in WIndows OS as TCS calculator is similar to this calculator.

Best,

Thanks for the heads-up Ram. 

I assumed that google sheets/spreadsheet access would be given since there are so many tutorial video lectures about using it. 

The TCS ION calculator can be used here - https://www.tcsion.com/OnlineAssessment/ScientificCalculator/Calculator.html
