4. Step I: Draw a line PQ and take a point R on it.
6. Step II: With R as centre and a convenient radius construct an arc touching the line PQ at two points A and B.
8. Step III: With A and B as centres and a radius greater than RA construct two arcs cutting each other at S.
10. Step IV: Join RS and extend it in both directions to get a line perpendicular to PQ.
11. Thus, XY is the line required which is perpendicular to PQ and passes through R as shown in the above image
