Draw any circle and mark points $ \mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B} $ and $ \mathrm{C} $ such that
(a) $ \mathrm{A} $ is on the circle.
(b) $ \mathrm{B} $ is in the interior of the circle.
(c) $ \mathrm{C} $ is in the exterior of the circle.
To do:
We have to draw a circle and mark points $A, B$ and $C$ such that
(a) $A$ is on the circle
(b) $B$ is in the interior of the circle.
(c) $C$ is in the exterior of the circle.
Solution:
Draw a circle with the centre '$O$' using compasses.
Now,
Let us mark point '$A$' on the circle, point '$B$' on the interior of the circle and point '$C$' on the exterior of the circle.
Hence,
The required circle with the required points $A, B$ and $C$ in the required positions are drawn.
