Let $\Omega_1$ be a circle with centre $O$ and let $AB$ be diameter of $\Omega_1$. Let $P$ be a point on the segment $OB$ different from $O$. Suppose another circle $\Omega_2$ with centre $P$ lies in the interior of $\Omega_1$. Tangents are drawn from $A$ and $B$ to the circle $\Omega_2$ intersecting $\Omega_1$ again at $A_1$ and B1 respectively such that $A_1$ and $B_1$ are on the opposite sides of $AB$. Given that $A_1 B = 5, AB_1 = 15$ and $OP = 10$, find the radius of $\Omega_1$.

Let $S$ be a circle with centre $O$. A chord $AB$, not a diameter, divides $S$ into two regions $R_1$ and $R_2$ such that $O$ belongs to $R_2$. Let $S_1$ be a circle with centre in $R_1$, touching $AB$ at $X$ and $S$ internally. Let $S_2$ be a circle with centre in $R_2$, touching $AB$ at $Y$, the circle $S$ internally and passing through the centre of $S$. The point $X$ lies on the diameter passing through the centre of $S_2$ and $\angle YXO=30^o$. If the radius of $S_2$ is $100 $ then what is the radius of $S_1$?
