### Physics Problem: Skier's Jump

#### Problem Statement:
The skier starts from rest at point \( A \). Determine the horizontal distance \( X \) traveled after he leaves the ramp and the landing speed. Neglect friction.

#### Diagram Explanation:
The provided diagram shows a side view schematic of a skier's jump. Here's a step-by-step explanation of the diagram:

1. **Starting Point (A)**: 
   - The skier starts at a height of 25 meters above the ground.

2. **Inclined Ramp (Angle of 20°)**:
   - The skier begins at point \( A \), moves down an inclined ramp making an angle of 20° with the horizontal.

3. **Ramp End Point (B)**:
   - The end of the ramp is labeled as point \( B \).

4. **Parabolic Trajectory (x, y Coordinates)**:
   - After leaving the ramp, the skier follows a parabolic trajectory.
   - The equation for the parabola is \( y = -5 - 0.01x^2 \), where \( y \) is the vertical distance and \( x \) is the horizontal distance.

5. **Distance to Landing Point (C)**:
   - The horizontal distance \( X \) between the ramp end point \( B \) and the landing point \( C \) is to be determined.

#### Given Options:
You need to choose one correct pair for the horizontal distance \( X \) and the landing speed \( v_c \) from the options below:

1. \( X = 8.96 \, \text{m}, \quad v_c = 21.2 \, \frac{\text{m}}{\text{s}} \)
2. \( X = 13.1 \, \text{m}, \quad v_c = 24.9 \, \frac{\text{m}}{\text{s}} \)
3. \( X = 10.2 \, \text{m}, \quad v_c = 24.2 \, \frac{\text{m}}{\text{s}} \)
4. \( X = 7.81 \, \text{m}, \quad v_c = 18.1 \, \frac{\text{m}}{\text{s}} \)
