Which of the following steps is INCORRECT to construct a circle of radius 2 cm with centre 0 and then drawing two tangents to the circle from P where P is a point : outside the circle such that \[OP=4.5\text{ }cm.\] Steps of construction

Step I: Draw a circle with O as centre and radius 2 cm.

Step II: Mark a point P outside the circle such that\[OP=2.25\text{ }cm\].

Step III: Join \[OP=4.5\text{ }cm\]and bisect it at M.

Step IV: Draw a circle with M as centre and radius equal to MP to intersect the given circle at the points T and T'.

Step V: Joint PT and PT'. Then. PT and PT are the required tangents.

A)  Step V            

B)  Step IV                       

C)  Step II         

D)         None of these
