Solution
The correct option is A Divider
We use ruler and a compass for constructing perpendicular to a line from a point not on it.
Steps of construction of a perpendicular to a line from a point not on it, are given below:
1. Draw a line k, mark a point 'R' outside it.
2. With R as the centre, draw arcs on either side with suitable radius that cuts line at point X and Y.
3. With X as the centre and radius more than half of XY, draw an arc below the line segment XY.
4. With Y as the centre and with same radius as in previous step, draw another arc which cuts the previous arc. Name the point of intersection as B.
5. Join points R and B using a scale and a pencil and extend to get line RB.
