In the feed drive of a point to point open loop $$CNC$$ drive, a stepper motor rotating at $$200steps/rev$$ drives a table through a gear box and lead screw-nut mechanism (pitch $$=4mm,$$ number of starts $$=1$$). The gear ratio $$=$$ Output speed / input speed is given by $$U=1/4.$$ The stepper motor (driven by voltage pulses from a pulse generator) executes $$1$$ step / pulse from a pulse generator) executes $$1$$ step / pulse of the generator. The frequency of the pulse train from the pulse generator is $$f=10000$$ pulses per minute.

The basic length unit $$(BLU)$$, i.e. the table movement corresponding to $$1$$ pulse of the pulse generator

The tool of an $$NC$$ machine has to move along a circular arc from $$(5,5)$$ to $$(10,10)$$ while performing an operation. The center of the arc is at $$(10,5).$$ Which one of the following $$NC$$ tool path commands performs the above mentioned operation?
