Hi Sunny,

A couple of possibilities to solve your current problems:

Firstly, the key combination is C-c '  not   C-c `

i.e., that character is a straight single quote.

Secondly, have you activated R as an Org-babel language?

See section 14.7 of the manual. You can do it with customize, or you can
do it by adding some emacs-lisp to your .emacs file. E.g. the following
activates emacs-lisp and R:

(org-babel-do-load-languages
      'org-babel-load-languages
      '((emacs-lisp . t)
        (R . t)))

Don't hesitate to get back to the list if you have further questions.
