Given are the steps to draw a tangent to given circle from any point outside the circle. Arrange the steps. i. With OP as diameter, draw arcs on circle at R and R1. ii. Draw the given circle with center O. iii. Join P and R which is one tangent and PR1 is another tangent. iv. Mark the point P outside the circle. Correct Answer ii, iv, i, iii

Usually when a point is outside the circle there exists two tangents. For which we first join the center with point P and then taking distance from center to P as diameter circle is drawn from the midpoint of center and P to cut circle at two points where tangents touch the circle.
