Divide a line segment 6 cm long in the ratio 4 : 3. Given below are steps of construction. Which of the following steps is incorrect?
Step 1 : Draw a line segment AB = 6 cm.
Step 2 : Draw a ray AX making an acute angle `BAX`
Step 3: Along AX mark 4 points `A_1, A_2, A_3, and A_4` such that `A A_1 = A_1 A_2 = A_2 A_3 = A_3 A_4`.
Step 4: Join `A_4 B` .
Step 5: From `A_3` drawn `A_3 C || A_4 B` meeting AB at C.
