Given below are the steps of a pair of tangents to a circle of radius 6 cm which are inclined to each other at an angle of `60^(@)` . Which of the following steps is wrong ?
Steps of Construction
I. With centre O and radius = 6 cm, draw a circle.
II. Taking a point A on the circle and draw `angle AOB = 120^(@)` .
III. Draw a perpendicular on OA at A. Draw another perpendicular on OB at B.
IV. Let the two perpendiculars meet at C. Thus CA and CB are the two required tangents to the given circle which are inclined to each other at `120^(@)`.

A
