Solution

\[\text { Length of the tank = 8 m } \]

Breadth = 6 m

Height = 2 m

\[ \therefore\text {  Its volume = length } \times \text { breadth } \times \text { height  }= (8 \times 6 \times 2) m^3 = 96 m^3 \]

\[\text { We know that 1 } m^3 = 1000 L\]

\[\text { Now, 96 }m^3 = 96 \times 1000 L = 96000 L\]

\[ \therefore\text {P  The tank can store 96000 L of water } .\]
