Total 5-d number that can be formed will be = 9 * 10C4 Why 9 here - See first place can be filled in 9 ways only. You can't use 0. If you use 0 in first place then it'll be a four digit number e.g. - 02345 = 2345 which is a 4-Digit no not 5. Got it! Similarily, No. of 4-Digit = 9*10C3 Ratio = 9*10C4/9*10C3 = 7/4 And that's answer.

QUe 2 Apart from singular verb, I think use of present participle this way is wrong. Present participle indicates something that is continuing. I think use of 'Which require would be best here' for e.g. ......such as those once followed by southern Africa's Bushmen and australia's aborigines, Which require vast wild spaces and permit accumulation of goods...... would have been a better construction.

Retrospective means looking back on the past. Hence, in the phrase refers back, the word back is redundant. Choice (B) is incorrect because harkens back is also redundant. Choice © is correct. Dropping the word back eliminates the redundancy. Choice (D) is incorrect because the preposition from is non-idiomatic. Choice (E) is incorrect because looks back is also redundant.

It is not at all uncommon to find questionable structures in parts of the sentence that are not underlined. In fact, you may even find questionable structures in the underlined part of the sentence that are not corrected by any of the answer choices because the writers are testing a different mistake. Concern yourself with correcting only the underlined part of the sentence.
