(A) Given the equation $\frac{^{n}P_{4}}{^{n-1}P_{4}} = \frac{5}{3}$.Using the formula $^{n}P_{r} = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$,we have:$\frac{\frac{n!}{(n-4)!}}{\frac{(n-1)!}{(n-5)!}} = \frac{5}{3}$.This simplifies to $\frac{n \times (n-1)!}{(n-4) \times (n-5)!} \times \frac{(n-5)!}{(n-1)!} = \frac{5}{3}$.$\frac{n}{n-4} = \frac{5}{3}$.Cross-multiplying gives $3n = 5(n-4)$.$3n = 5n - 20$.$2n = 20$.$n = 10$.
