The ratio between the length and the perimeter of a rectangular plot is 1 : 3 ,what is the ratio between the length and breadth of the plot?
A
1 : 2
B
2 : 1
C
3 : 2
D
Data inadequate
Correct Answer: 2 : 1
Let, length be = x and perimeter = 3x Then, two length is = 2x So, two breadth is = 3x - 2x = x i.e one breadth is = x2 Accourding to the question, x: 12x ⇒ 2 : 1
