Explanation
Correct sequence is :
Step 1. Draw a ray $$BC$$.
Step 2. With the pointed end of the compass at B and any arbitrary radius, draw an arc and mark the intersection point with ray $$BC$$ as $$D.$$
Step 3. With the same radius and the pointed end of the compass at $$D$$, mark a point $$E$$ on the same arc.
Step 4 Join $$B−E$$ and extend it as a ray $$BA.$$
So the first step is $$2$$
Option $$B$$ is correct.
$$ {\textbf{Step -1: Find angle by ruler and compass}} $$
$$ \angle {37.5^ \circ }{\text{can be constructed by bisecting }} {150^ \circ } {\text{twice which can be done by compass}}. $$
$$ \angle {22.5^ \circ }{\text{is the bisector of }}{90^ \circ }{\text{ which can be also constructed using compass}}{\text{.}} $$
$$ \angle {67.5^ \circ }{\text{is the bisector of }} {135^ \circ } {\text{which can also be drawn using compass}}{\text{.}} $$
$${\textbf{Step -2: Find 40}^{\circ} {\textbf{why not done by ruler}}}$$
$$ {\text{But }}40^ \circ {\text{can not be drawn using ruler and compass}}{\text{.}} $$
$$ {\textbf{Hence, option B is correct}}{\text{.}} $$
