1. 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. 1:2
- C. 1:2
- D. 1:2
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Hints: Let the length is x and breadth is y. Then perimeter = 2 ( x + y)
Now, x / 2(x + y) = 1/3
3x = 2x + 2y
x = 2y
x/y = 1/2 = 1 : 2
