Pavan tried to draw a line parallel to a given line, 'l'. Few steps are shown below. What will be the next step? Step 1: Mark a point A, not on the line 'l'. Step 2: Mark point B on line 'l'. Step 3: Draw line segment joining points A and B. Step 4: Draw an arc with B as the centre, such that it intersects line 'l' at D and AB at E. Options: A . &nbsp Draw another arc with the same radius and A as the centre, such that it intersects AB at F B . &nbsp Draw another arc with B as the centre and distance DE as the radius C . &nbsp Draw another arc with some other radius and A as the centre D . &nbsp Draw another arc with B as the centre and distance AB as the radius

Question

Pavan tried to draw a line parallel to a given line, 'l'. Few steps are shown below. What will be the next step?

Options:

A . Draw another arc with the same radius and A as the centre, such that it intersects AB at F

B . Draw another arc with B as the centre and distance DE as the radius

C . Draw another arc with some other radius and A as the centre

D . Draw another arc with B as the centre and distance AB as the radius

Answer: Option A
:
A

Following are the steps to draw a line parallel to a given line:

Step 1: Mark a point A, not on the line 'l'.
Step 2: Mark point B on line 'l'.
Step 3: Draw line segment joining points A and B.
Step 4: Draw an arc with B as the centre, such that it intersects line 'l' at D and AB at E.
Step 5: Draw another arc with the same radius and A as the centre, such that it intersects AB at F.
Step 6: Draw another arc with F as the centre and distance DE as the radius.
Step 7: Mark the point of intersections of this arc and the previous arc as G.
Step 8: Draw line 'm' passing through points A and G.

Line 'm' is the required parallel line.
