Question

The first step in the process will be:

• A. $1$
• B. $2$
• C. $3$
• D. $4$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $4$

Correct sequence of steps is :

Step 1: Draw segment $AB$ and take a point $P$ on it.

Step 2: From point $P$,mark two equidistant points from $P$ on line $AB$, and name them $C$ and $D$

Step 3 : From points $C$ and $D$ mark two intersecting arcs on either side of the line $AB$.Name the intersection point as $E$

Step 4: Join $E$ and $P$. $EP$ is the required perpendicular.

So the first step is $4$

So option $D$ is correct.
