MCQ
To construct a perpendicular to a line $(L)$ from a point $(P)$ outside the line, steps are given in jumbled form. Identify the fourth step from the following
$(1)$ Draw line $PQ$
$(2)$Draw a line $L$ and consider point $P$ outside the line
$(3)$Take $P$ as a center, draw $2$ arcs on line $L$ and name it as points $A$ and $B$ respectively
$(4)$Taking $A$ and $B$ as a center one by one and keeping the same distance in compass
draw the arcs on other side of the line. The point where these arcs intersect name that point as $Q$
  • A
    $4$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $2$
  • $1$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$1$
The correct sequence is: Step
$(1)$ Draw a line $L$ and consider a point $P$ outside the line.
$(2)$ Take $P$ as center and draw two arcs on line $L$ ans name the points $A$ and $B$ respectively.
$(3)$ Taking $A$ and $B$ as centres one by one and keeping the same distance in compass, draw the arcs on other side of the line .
$(4)$ The point where these arcs intersect name that as $Q$
$(5)$ Draw line $PQ$ So the fourth step is $1$
