(i) Draw a line segment AB = 12 cm.
(ii) Draw a ray AX at A making an acute angle with AB.
(iii) From B, draw another ray BY parallel to AX.
(iv) Cut off 2 equal parts from AX and 3 equal parts from BY.
(v) Join 2 and 3 which intersects AB at P.
P is the required point which divides AB in the ratio of 2 : 3 internally.
