A body moves on a frictionless plane starting from rest. If $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{n}}$ is distance moved between $\mathrm{t}=\mathrm{n}-1$ and $\mathrm{t}$ $=\mathrm{n}$ and $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{n}-1}$ is distance moved between $\mathrm{t}=\mathrm{n}-2$ and $t=n-1$, then the ratio $\frac{S_{n-1}}{S_n}$ is $\left(1-\frac{2}{x}\right)$ for $n$ $=10$. The value of $x$ is
