Solution

Length of the water tank = 3 m

Breadth = 2 m

Height = 1 m

\[\text { Volume of the water tank } = 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 6 m^3 \]

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

\[i . e . , 6 m^3 = 6 \times 1000 L = 6000 L\]

\[ \therefore \text { The water tank can hold 6000 L of water in it } .\]
