Answer 1

The correct option in MS-Excel 365, if a value in a cell of column A and row 10 is to be referred in a function or formula, is option 3) A10.

In Excel, cell references are used in formulas to refer to specific cells or ranges of cells.
A cell reference consists of the column letter and row number of the cell.
In this case, the value in cell A10 can be referred to in a formula or function by using the cell reference A10.
Suppose you have an Excel spreadsheet with data in various cells, and you want to refer to the value in cell A10 using a function or formula.
For example, let's assume that cell A10 contains the value 50.
In this case, if you want to use the value in cell A10 in a formula, you would use the reference A10.
Here's a simple example using the SUM function to add the value in cell A10 to the value in cell B5: =SUM(A10, B5)
In the above formula, we are instructing Excel to sum the value in cell A10 (which is 50) with the value in cell B5. The reference A10 tells Excel to use the value from that specific cell.
So, by using the reference A10 in your formulas or functions, you can effectively refer to the value in the cell and incorporate it into your calculations or logical operations within MS Excel 365.

Additional Information

Option 1) A-10 is not a valid cell reference as the hyphen (-) is not used to indicate the cell location in Excel.
Option 2) 10A is also an invalid cell reference as the row number should always come after the column letter.
Option 4) A : 10 is a range reference, not a cell reference, which would refer to all cells in columns A through 10, which is not what is needed in this case.
