MCQ
The steps for constructing a perpendicular from point $A$ to line $P$ $Q$ is given in jumbled order as follows: $(A$ does not lie on $PQ)$
$1.$ Join $R$ − $S$ passing through $A$.
$2.$  $P$lace the pointed end of the compass on $A$ and with an arbitrary radius, mark two points $D$ and $E$ on line $P$$Q$ with the same radius.
$3.$ From points $D$ and $E$, mark two intersecting arcs on either side of $P$ $Q$ and name them $R$ and $S$.
$4.$ $D$raw a line $P$ $Q$ and take a point $A$ anywhere outside the line.The second step in the process is:
  • A
    $1$
  • $2$
  • C
    $3$
  • D
    $4$ 

Answer

Correct option: B.
$2$
Correct sequence is:
$1.$ Draw a line $P$ $Q$ and take a point $A$ anywhere outside the line.
$2.$ $P$lace the pointed end of the compass on $A$ and with an arbitrary radius, mark two points $D$ and $E$ on line $P$ $Q$ with the same radius.
$3.$ From points $D$ and $E$, mark two intersecting arcs on either side of $P$ $Q$ and name them $R$ and $S$.
$4.$ Join $R$ − $S$ passing through $A.$
$5.\ S$o the second step is $2$.
