Question

Steps for the construction of a perpendicular to AB from an outside point P is given below. Choose the correct order.
1.With radius more than half of XY draw an arc above AB , X as centre
2.Using a scale, join PQ. Mark the intersection point of PQ and AB as ‘O’. Now PQ is perpendicular to AB
3.With a suitable radius and P as the centre draw an arc which cuts AB at X and Y
4.Draw a straight line AB and mark a point P lying outside AB
5.With Y as centre draw another arc, with same radius chosen in previous step, that cuts the previous arc. Name the point of intersection as Q

The correct option is B 4,3,1,5,2
Steps for the construction of a perpendicular to AB from an outside point P is given below.
1.Draw a straight line AB and mark a point P lying outside AB
2.With a suitable radius and P as the centre draw an arc which cuts AB at X and Y
3.With radius more than half of XY draw an arc above AB , X as centre
4.With Y as centre draw another arc, with same radius chosen in previous step, that cuts the previous arc. Name the point of intersection as Q
5.Using a scale, join PQ. Mark the intersection point of PQ and AB as ‘O’. Now PQ is perpendicular to AB
Then we get,
