Arrange the steps of construction while constructing pair of tangents to a circle of radius 5 cm from a point 12 cm away from its centre. Steps of Construction

Step I: Join OA and bisect it. Let P is the mid-point of OA.

Step II: Join AB and AC. AB and AC are the required tangents. Length of tangents\[=11\text{ }cm\].

Step III: With O as centre, draw a circle of radius 5 cm.

Step IV: Taking P as centre and PO as radius, draw a circle intersecting the given circle at the points B and C.

Step V: Take a point A at a distance of \[12\text{ }cm\]from O.

A)  III, V, I, IV, II 

B)  III, V, IV, I, II

C)  II, V, IV, III, I 

D)  ll. IV, II, I, III
