Question

Write correct sequence of the following steps to draw perpendicular bisector of a line AB.

a. Join XY to cut AB at O. XY is called the perpendicular bisector of AB.

b. To construct the perpendicular bisector of the line segment AB, we first take A and

then B as centre and radius greater than half of AB.

c. Draw arcs above and below AB such that the arcs cut each other at X and Y.

• A. b, a, c
• B. b, c, a
• C. c, a, b
• D. a, b, c

Answer 1

The correct option is B b, c, a

Correct sequence is b, c, a
