Which of the following steps of construction is INCORRECT while dividing a line segment of length \[3.2\text{ }cm\]in the ratio of \[3:5\] internally. Steps of Construction

Step I: Draw \[AB=3.2\text{ }cm\]

Step II: Construct an acute \[\angle BAX\].

Step III: On AX make \[3+5+1\] i.e. 9 equal parts and mark them as \[{{A}_{1}},{{A}_{2}},{{A}_{3}},{{A}_{4}},.........{{A}_{9}}\]

Step IV: Join B to \[{{A}_{8}}\] From \[{{A}_{3}}\] draw \[{{A}_{3}}C\]parallel to \[{{A}_{8}}B\]. Point C divides AB internally in the ratio\[3:5\].

A) Thus, \[AC:CB=3:5.\]  Step II            

B)  Step III                       

C)  Step IV        

D)         None of these
