Is it possible to scale the figure included in lyx using external inset as one can do in figure float.
Yes. For Lyx 1.3.4 it is done this way. Open the dialog for that external inset, by clicking on it. It is of type XFIG, and the help text there tell you how to do it. I repeat it here:
In the parameter field, type in -m 0.7 to get a 0.7x scaling factor. If you want a different factor, use that instead.
Note that the parameter really is passed to a program called fig2dev, use man fig2dev on the command line to see what other options you can use.
