The default setting used to be 3 sheets in a new workbook until Excel 2010. In a clean installation of later versions, it is 1 sheet, but if you have upgraded over the years from Excel 2010 or earlier, and if you never changed the default setting, it would still be 3.

@Gyan_Manish The default number of sheets to start with is in the settings. I have 365 so this image may look a little different but it is something like this:
notice the last item says "Include this many sheets"
change that and the 'default' number of sheets changes for each new workbook.
