2)Draw a line L and consider point P outside the line
3)Take P as a center, draw 2 arcs on line L and name it as points A and B respectively
4)Taking A and B as a center one by one and keeping the same distance in compass, draw the arcs on other side of the line.The point where these arcs intersect name that point as Q

Solution

The correct option is D 1
The correct sequence is:
Step 1. Draw a line L and consider a point P outside the line.
Step 2. Take P as center and draw two arcs on line L ans name the points A and B respectively.
Step 3.Taking A and B as centres one by one and keeping the same distance in compass , draw the arcs on other side of the line .The point where these arcs intersect name that as Q
Step 4. Draw line PQ
So the fourth step is 1
Option D is correct.
