Question

The steps for constructing an $\angle ABC$ of measure ${120}^{\circ }$ are given below in jumbled order:
1. From the point $R$, mark a point $P$ on the same arc with the same radius.
2. Place the pointed end of the compass on $B$ and draw a semi-circular arc with arbitrary radius and name its intersection with ray $BC$ as $Q$.
3. Draw a ray $BC$.
4. From point $Q$, mark a point $R$ on the arc with the same radius.
5. Join $B-P$ and extend it to obtain ray $BA$

$Thefifthstepintheprocessis:$

• A. $2$
• B. $3$
• C. $4$
• D. $5$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $5$

Correct sequence is :

Step 1. Draw a ray $BC$.

Step 2.Place the pointed end of the compass on $B$ and draw a semi-circular arc with arbitrary radius and name its intersection with the ray $BC$ as $Q$.

Step 3. From $Q$ mark a point $R$ on the arc with the same radius.

Step 4. From point $R$, mark a point $P$ on the same arc with same radius.

Step 5. Join $B-P$ and extend it to obtain ray $BA$

So the fifth step is $5$

Option $D$ is correct.
