Answer
Steps of construction :
Taking O as center and radius = 4 cm draw a circle.
Draw AB, the diameter of circle with center O.
Produce AB to X such that BX = 4 cm.
Draw DE perpendicular bisector of BX, intersecting BX at C.
From C, as center and CX as radius draw a circle touching circle with center O at B and passing through X.
