Question Follow

A line segment of length 12 cm is given. Taking one end of the segment as the centre, draw a circle of diameter 12 cm and taking another end of segment as centre, draw another circle of radius 5 cm. Given below are the steps to construct tangents to each circle from the centre of the other circle. Which is the correct missing STEP-5 ?

STEP-1: Draw a line segment AB of length 12 cm.
STEP-2: From A, draw a circle of diameter 12 cm.
STEP-3: Let the segment AB intersect circle from STEP-2 at O.
STEP-4: From B, draw a circle of radius 5 cm.
STEP-5:
STEP-6: Let the circles from STEP-2 & STEP-5 intersect at P & Q.
STEP-7: Let the circles from STEP-4 & STEP-5 intersect at M & N.
STEP-8: Join AM, AN, BP, BQ.
STEP-9: AM, AN, BP, BQ are the required tangents.

	(A)	From O, draw a circle of radius 5 cm.
	(B)	From O, draw a circle of diameter 12 cm.
	(C)	From O, draw a circle of radius 12 cm.
	(D)	From O, draw a circle of diameter 5 cm.
