Answer : 1. "2893"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 2893 Explanation: For solving this problem first we would break the whole range in 5 sections 1) From 1 to 9Total number of zero in this range = 0 2) From 10 to 99Total possibilities = 9*1 = 9 ( here 9 is used for the possibilities of a non zero integer) 3) From 100 to 999 - three type of numbers are there in this range a) x00 b) x0x c) xx0 (here x represents a non zero number)Total possibilities for x00 = 9*1*1 = 9, hence total zeros = 9*2 = 18for x0x = 9*1*9 = 81, hence total zeros = 81similarly for xx0 = 81 total zeros in three digit numbers = 18 + 81 +81 = 180 4) From 1000 to 9999 - seven type of numbers are there in this rangea)x000 b)xx00 c)x0x0 d)x00x e)xxx0 f)xx0x g)x0xxTotal possibilities for x000 = 9*1*1*1 = 9, hence total zeros = 9*3 = 27 for xx00 = 9*9*1*1 = 81, hence total zeros = 81*2 = 162 for x0x0 = 9*1*9*1 = 81, hence total zeros = 81*2 = 162for x00x = 9*1*1*9 = 81, hence total zeros = 81*2 = 162 for xxx0 = 9*9*9*1 = 729, hence total zeros = 729*1 = 729for xx0x = 9*9*1*9 = 729, hence total zeros = 729*1 = 729for x0xx = 9*1*9*9 = 729, hence total zeros = 729*1 = 729total zeros in four digit numbers = 27 + 3*162 + 3*729 = 2700thus total zeros will be 0+9+180+2700+4 (last 4 is for 4 zeros of 10000)= 2893

Answer : 2. "B"
Explanation :
Answer: B) B Explanation: The last sentence in the paragraph clearly gives support for the idea that the interest in Shakespeare is due to the development of his characters. Choice a is incorrect because the writer never makes this type of comparison. Choice c is wrong because even though scholars are mentioned in the paragraph, there is no indication that the scholars are compiling the anthology. Choice d is wrong because there is no support to show that most New Yorkers are interested in this work. There is no support for choice e either.
