Q. Which of the following steps is INCORRECT, while constructing

△

LMN, right-angled at M, given that LN = 5 cm and MN = 3 cm?
Step 1. Draw MN of length 3 cm.
Step 2. At M, draw MX

⊥

MN. (L should be somewhere on this perpendicular).
Step 3. With N as the center, draw an arc of radius 5 cm. (L must be on this arc since it is at a distance of 5 cm from N).
Step 4. L has to be on the perpendicular line MX as well as on the arc drawn with center N. Therefore, L is the meeting point of these two and

△

LMN is obtained.
