The correct answer is Option 3) =A2*B2.

Key Points

  • To multiply values in Excel, use the asterisk symbol (*).
  • Formula =A2*B2 multiplies the value in cell A2 by the value in cell B2.
  • Excel does not have a built-in MULTIPLY() function for worksheets; multiplication is done using *.

Additional Information

  • Option 1 – =A2+B2: Adds the values, not multiplies.
  • Option 2 – =MULTIPLY(A2,B2): Invalid in Excel; no such function exists.
  • Option 4 – =A2-B2: Subtracts B2 from A2.
  • To divide: use =A2/B2; to add: use =A2+B2; to subtract: use =A2-B2.
