Which of the following steps of construction is INCORRECT while dividing a line segment of length 3.2 cm in the ratio of 3 : 5 internally.Steps of ConstructionStep I : Draw AB = 3.2 cmStep II : Construct an acute ∠BAX.Step III : On AX make 3 + 5 + 1 i.e. 9 equal parts and mark them as A1, A2, A3, A4, ..... A9Step IV : Join B to A8. From A3 draw A3C parallel to A8B. Point C divides AB internally in the ratio 3 : 5.Thus, AC : CB = 3:5.(A) Step II (B) Step III(C) Step IV (D) None of these

Answer»

 The correct option is: (B) Step III

Explanation:

Step III is incorrect as on X make 3 + 5 = 8 equal parts and mark them as A1, A2, A3, A4, ..... A8 .
