Draw a circle of radius 2 cm with centre...

Draw a circle of radius 2 cm with centre O and take a point P outside the circle such that OP = 4.5 cm. From P, draw two tangents to the circle. Given below are the steps of constructing the tangents from P. Find which of the following steps is wrong.
Step 1: Draw a circle with O as centre and radius 2 cm.
Step 2: Mark a point P outside the circle such that OP = 4.5 cm.
Step 3: Join OP and bisect it at M.
Step 4: Draw a circle with P as centre and radius = MP to intersect the given circle .at the points R and Q.
Step 5: Join PR and PQ.
