Answer: Diagram(B) suggests a correct construction of a line parallel to given line w and passing through given point K.


Explanation:

Let w be the given line.

To construct a line parallel to given line ,we have to perform the following steps.

1) Draw any line intersecting line w at A.

2) Mark point K anywhere on the new line.

3) Draw arc by a compass from A which intersect new line at P and given line at B.

4) Keep the same setting of compass to draw arc from K which intersects the new line at Q .

5) Measure the arc length from P to B and keep the setting to draw arc from Q to intersect the previous arc by formed by K.Mark the intersection point as R.

6) Use a straightedge to draw a line across K and R.

Hence we have constructed a line parallel to line w passing through given point K.
