Solution
Steps of construction:
(i) From P draw a line segment meeting at AB
(ii) With centre Q and some suitable radius draw an arc CD.
(iii) With centre P and the same radius draw another arc meeting PQ at E.
(iv) With centre E and radius equal to CD, cut this arc at F
(v) Join PF and produce it to both sides to L and M. Then line LM is parallel to given line AB.
