Answer

If the ratio between the length and perimeter of a rectangular plot is $1 : 3$,
then the ratio between the length and breadth of the plot is 2 : 1.
Let the length of the rectangular plot be $x$ and its perimeter be $3x.$
As, the breadth of the rectangular plot $=\Big(\frac{\text{Perimeter}}{2}\Big)-\text{Length}$
$=\frac{3\text{x}}{2}-\text{x}$
$=\frac{3\text{x}-2\text{x}}{2}$
$=\frac{\text{x}}{2}$
Now, the ratio between the length and breadth of the plot $=\frac{\text{Length}}{\text{Breadth}}$
$=\frac{\text{x}}{\big(\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)}$
$=\frac{2\text{x}}{\text{x}}$
$=\frac{2}{1}$
$=2:1$
