Question

Steps of constructing a line segment equal to the length of given segment is written in jumbled form below:
1. Draw a line $l$. Mark a point $A$ on line $l$. Without changing compass's setting, place the compass at $A$.
2. Make an arc on the line $l$ which cuts $l$ at $B$. Now, $AB$ is a copy of $CD$.
3. Draw a line segment $CD$ of any length.
4. Fix the compass's end on $C$ and pencil on $D$. This gives the length of $CD$.
Arrange them in correct order.

• A. $3,4,1,2$
• B. $1,2,3,4$
• C. $4,3,2,1$
• D. $3,1,2,4$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $3,4,1,2$

Correct sequence is :

Step 1. Draw a line segment $CD$ of any length.

Step 2 .Fix the compass's end on $C$ and a pencil on $D$. This gives length $CD.$

Step 3. Draw a line $l$. Mark a point $A$ on line $l$.Without changing compass's setting place the compass at $A$

Step 4. Make an arc on the line $l$ whcih cuts $l$ at $B$ Now $AB$ is a copy of $CD$

So the sequence is $3,4,1,2$
