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  ∠YXO = 30°. If the radius of S_2  is 100  then what is the radius of S_1 ?
