1.
Problem Statement
Given two integers x and y, a recursive technique to find their GCD is Euclidean Algorithm. The
algorithm states that, for computing the GCD of two positive integers x and y,
if x and y are equal, GCD(x,y)=x .
Otherwise GCD(x,y)=GCD(x-y,y) if x>y.
There are a few optimizations that can be made to the above logic to arrive at a more efficient
implementation.
Input Format
One line of input containing space separated integers.
Output Format
Output one integer, the GCD of the two given numbers.
Constraints
1<=a
b<=10^8
C CODE:
#include <stdio.h>
int euclid(int a, int b)
{ while (a != b)
{
if (a > b) {
a = a - b;
}
else {
b = b - a;
}
}
return a;
}
int main()
{
int a;

The classical realist theory of international relations has long dominated both academic institutions
and the American government. Even at the birth of the nation, early political thinkers, such as
Alexander Hamilton, promoted a realist view of international relations and sought to influence the
actions of the government based on this perspective. While the classical realist school of international
relations is not entirely homogeneous in nature, there are certain premises that all classical realists
share. The primary principle underlying classical realism is a concern with issues of war and peace.
Specically, classical realists ask, what are the causes of war and what are the conditions of peace? The
members of the classical realist school mainly attribute war and conict to what is termed the security
dilemma. In the absence of any prevailing global authority, each nation is required to address its own
security needs. However, each nation's quest for security through military buildups, alliances, or
territorial defenses necessarily unsettles other nations. These nations react to feelings of insecurity by
engaging in their own aggressive actions, which leads other nations to react similarly, perpetuating the
cycle. It is important to note that for realists, unlike idealists or liberal internationalists, international
conict is a necessary consequence of the structural anarchy that nations nd themselves in. Whereas
other schools / may see international conict as the result of evil dictators, historical chance, awed
socio political systems, or ignorance of world affairs, classical realists see war as the logical result of a
system that by its nature lacks a true central authority. Hand in hand with this view of conict as an
inevitable condition of the global power structure is the realists' view of the nation as a unitary actor.
Because classical realists see international relations as a continuing struggle for dominance, the nation
can not be viewed as a collection of individuals with disparate wants, goals, and ideologies. The realist
view requires the formulation of a national interest, which in its simplest terms refers to the nation's
ability to survive, maintain its security, and achieve some level of power relative to its competitors.
Realism is not without its critics, many of whom challenge the premise that war is the natural condition
of international relations or that there can be a truly national interest. However, the realist school of
international relations continues to shape foreign policy because of the successes it has had in
describing real world interactions between nations. It can be inferred from the passage that members
of the classical realist school would be LEAST likely to support.

Read the following passage and answer the following question: My phone rings again. It is futile to
ignore it anymore. Maneesha is persistent, She will continue to bedevil me until I acquiesce. Hello, I
answer. The circus, Atika? she says in her sing-song voice. When are we going ? Only two more days
left! I abhor the Circus. The boisterous crowds, the overwhelming smell of animal feces, the insanely
long lines with wailing children and the impossibility of nding a clean restroom all combine to make this
an event that I dread.For Maneesha, my bestfriend since the angst of middle school, the Circus is a sign
that divine powers really do exist. / Really, Atika, where else can you pet an elephant, see a stuntman
ride a horse, laugh till you are ready to cry, see the worlds smallest person and eat fried potatoes and
butter soaked popcorn? Maneesha asks gleefully. Hell? I guess. The fried food at the circus is a
gastronomical nightmare on its own. I once tried a fried Cottage Cheese stick at the fair and was sick
to my stomach for hours. And a fried burger with oil soaked potato patty, cheese, multicolored sauces
AND a greasy slice of cottage cheese ? how could that not be deleterious to your health? What does it

Read the following passage and answer the following questions: The Stratosphere, specically, the lower
Stratosphere has, it seems, been dying out. Water vapour is a greenhouse gas, and the cooling effect
on the Earths climate due to this desiccation may account for a fair bit of the slowdown in the rise of
global temperatures seen over the past ten years. The stratosphere sits on top of the Troposphere, the
lowest, densest layer of the atmosphere. The boundary between the two, the Tropopause, is about 18
km above your head, if you are in the tropics, and a few kilometers lower if you are at higher latitudes (
or up a mountain ). In the Troposphere, the air at higher altitudes is in general cooler than the air below
it, an unstable situation in which warm and often moist air below is endlessly buoying up into cooler air
above. The resultant commotion creates clouds, storms and much of the rest of the world's weather. In
the Stratosphere, the air gets warmer at higher altitudes, which provides stability. The Stratospherewhich extends up to about 55 km, where the Mesosphere begins, is made even less weather-prone by
the absence of water vapour, and thus of the clouds and precipitation to which it leads. This is because
the top of the Troposphere is normally very cold, causing ascending water vapour to freeze into ice
crystals that drift and fall, rather than continuing up into the Stratosphere. A little water manages to get
past this cold trap. But as Dr Solomon and her colleagues note, satellite measurements show that
rather less has been doing so over the past ten years than was the case previously. Plugging the
changes in water vapor into a climate model that looks at the way different substances absorb and
emit infrared radiation, they conclude that between 1000 and 2009 a drop in the Stratospheric water
vapour of less than one part per million slowed the rate of warming at the Earths surface by about 25%.
Such a small change in Stratospheric water vapour can have a large effect precisely because the
Stratosphere is already dry. It is the relative change in the amount of a greenhouse gas, not its absolute
level, which determines how much warming it can produce. What is the order of layers in the
atmosphere, starting from the lowermost and going to the topmos

Read the following passage and answer the questions below: The company's relentless advertising
campaign ($50 million budgeted this year) has made the McDonald's jingle, you deserve a break today,
almost as familiar as the Star-Spangled Banner. But the chain's managers have wrought their greatest
achievement by taking a familiar American institution, the greasy-spoon hamburger joint, and
transforming it into a totally different though no less quintessentially American operation: a
computerized, standardized, pre-measured, super clean production machine efficient enough to give
even the chiefs of General Motors food for thought. Machinery and equipment cannot do everything, of
course. Human beings are involved too, some 130,000 employees in nine countries, from Western
Europe to Japan and Australia. McDonald's has grown from a uniquely American to a truly global
operation. If a manager tries to sell his customers hamburgers that have been off the grill more than
ten minutes or coffee more than 30 minutes old. Big Brother in Oak Brook will nd out. Headquarters
executives calculate exactly how much food ea / restaurant can be expected to throw away each day,
and are ready to chastise a chronically deviant manager who has no good explanation To some critics,
the success of that machine is a devastating comment on American values. Harvard nutritionist Jean
Mayer warms that a steady diet of McDonald's fare and nothing else could give a customer scurvy
because it would lack sufcient vitamin C. Mayer also says that the menu provides large amounts of fats
and calories and contains almost no roughage. Since no one is forced to eat at a McDonald's the chain
must be giving multitudes exactly what they want. For one thing, many people nd the cheerily bland
atmosphere re assuming. McDonald's has designed a place to neutralize this anxiety, a place that does
not make a customer feel he will not know how to use his fork. Also, McDonald's is one of the few places
left where a customer can buy a meal for $1 or less. What is the reason for loyalists visiting this fast
food chain ?
