    Solution

    The volume of rain water in the land which could have been collected and the volume of water in the tank should be equal . Let, level of water in the tank is h meter. According to the question, ⇒ 3/100 × 2000 × 2000 × 230/300 = 230 × 10 × h ⇒ h = 40 m Volume of water in the tank = 230m × 10m × 40m = 92000 m3 Since, water in the tank is 80% of its capacity. So, capacity of tank = (92000/80) × 100 = 115000 m3
