The steps for constructing a line segment of given length are given in a jumbled order below:
1. Draw an arc on the line by keeping the pointed end of the compass on the point $A$. Mark the arc point as $B$.
2. Draw a line.
3. Extend the compass by keeping one end on the $0cm$ mark and other at the given length on the ruler.
4. Take a point $A$ anywhere on the line.
Which of the above steps comes third?

• A. $1$
• B. $2$
• C. $3$
• D. $4$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $3$

Step 1 $:$ Draw a line .

Step 2 $:$ Take point $A$ anywhere on the line .

Step 3 $:$ Extend the compass by keeping one end on the $0cm$ mark at the given length of the rule.

Step 4 $:$ Draw an arc on the line by keeping the pointed end of the compass on the point $A$ .Mark the arc point as $B$

So $3$ is the third step .Option $C$ is correct.
