Pacific Ring of Fire
The Pacific Ring of Fire is a major area in the

earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur. In a
large horseshoe shape, it is associated with a
nearly continuous series of oceanic trenches,
volcanic arcs, and volcanic belts and plate
movements.

Let A and B denote the points (5, 4) and – y = – 25 or y = 25

Given that AP = BP, we have x + 25 = 2125

AP2 = BP2
full fare = ` 2100 and reservation charges = ` 25

1. (c) Let the speed of the boat in still water be x km/hr and
the speed of the stream be y km/hr then speed of boat = (-2)2 + (2)2

get
Distance covered downstream = 40 km 210 = 55 × 3 + 45 ..... (i)
40 Since, the remainder 45 ≠ 0. So, we now apply division

Total time is 8 hr \ + =

Distance covered upstream = 16 km We consider the divisor 10 and the remainder 5 and
16 apply division lemma to get
\ time = hr
x− y 10 = 5 × 2 + 0 ..... (iv)
We observe that the remainder at this stage is zero.
Distance covered downstream
So, the last divisor i.e., 5 is the H.C.F of 210 and 55.
