AND checks if all conditions are true, so it can test if a number is both greater than 10 and less than 20.

What does the IF function return if the condition is false?

A It returns the value for false condition

B It returns an error

C It returns TRUE

D It returns the value for true condition

A AND

B OR

C NOT

D IF

NOT changes TRUE to FALSE and FALSE to TRUE, reversing the condition's result.

Why are logical functions useful in spreadsheets?

A They format cells automatically

B They perform calculations faster

C NOT

D IF

OR returns TRUE if any one of the conditions is true.
