Answer / lekha
But the question is to cut itin one straight cut. So let it
be cut anywhere in the cuboid. But as it is a rectangle.
Cutting it horizontally through height( slicing along height
as we slice butter on bread:) ) would make an equal half.

Answer / darwin
the piece removed will be of any dimensionand any cornor or
any place...k now assume the piece is not taken you havethe
whole cuboid..how will you cut it exact half..by cutting
along its diagonally....
now you need to imagine by the question given, you have to
cut the remaining cake diagonally also make sure that the
removed piece also would have been diveded exactly..if it
would be actuly there(imagine)....
