here is a puzzle for all of u.....

DIVIDING THE INHERITANCE

Your far off uncle has left behind a large rectangular plot of land that has to be divided equally between you and your cousin. Your uncle loved puzzles and decided to make you solve one last one. In his will he instructed that you and your cousin need to divide the plot evenly using only one linear partition.







The catch is that a rectangular section of the plot is barren. The barren land also must be shared equally between you and your cousin. If you are not able to divide the plot equally, the land will be donated to the government and you two will be left with nothing. How will you divide the land? Provide a detailed explanation with your answer.

And plz try to solve it urself....answer should be posted under comment column.

Good Luck.........
