Consider the case where you have two long straight pieces of wood. One of them is to be cut in such a way that it satisfies the above mentioned condition.
To achieve this, we must cut one of the pieces in the ratio of 1 : 2. So we will now have three pieces with us.
On calculating the average of the full piece and the one-third piece, it comes out to be equal to the length of the two-third piece.
Hence, we must cut one piece in the ratio 1 : 2.
