MCQ
To construct a perpendicular to a line $(L)$ from a point $(P)$ outside the line, steps are given in jumbled form.Identify the first 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 plane.The point where these arcs intersect name that point as $Q$.
  • A
    $4$
  • B
    $3$
  • $2$
  • D
    $1$

Answer

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