Steps:
Mark a point C on the sheet of paper.
With C as centre and radius 4.2 cm, draw a circle.
Mark any two points A and B on the circle and join them. is a chord of the circle.
With A as centre and any suitable radius , draw arcs on each side of AB.
With B as centre and the same radius, draw arcs on each side of AB to cut the previous arcs at P and Q.
Draw a line passing through points P and Q.

On examining, we find that the perpendicular bisector PQ of chord passes through the centre C of the circle.
Hence, yes, the perpendicular bisector of passes through C.
