The head of a moving head disk with 100100 tracks numbered 00 to 9999 is currently serving a request at track 5555. If the queue of requests kept in FIFO order is

10,70,75,23,6510, 70, 75, 23, 65

which of the two disk scheduling algorithms FCFS (First Come First Served) and SSTF (Shortest Seek Time First) will require less head movement? Find the head movement for each of the algorithms.
