MCQ
To construct a perpendicular to a line $(L)$ from a point $(P)$ outside the line, steps are given in jumbled form. Identify the second 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
    $4$
  • $3$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $1$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$3$
 
The correct sequence is:
$a.\ $Draw a line $L$ and consider a point $P$ outside the line.
$b.\ $Take $P$ as center and draw two arcs on line $L$ ans name the points $A$ and $B$ respectively.
$c.\ $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 $Q$.
$d.\ $Draw line $PQ$ So the second
Option $B$ is correct.
