    A 400000 mĀ³ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 280000 mĀ³ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 140000 mĀ³ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 142500 mĀ³ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 202500 mĀ³ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    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, ⇒ 2/100 × 3000 × 3000 × 190/300 = 200 × 10 × h ⇒ h = 57 m Volume of water in the tank = 200m × 10m × 57m = 114000 m3 Since, water in the tank is 80% of its capacity. So, capacity of tank = (114000/80) × 100 = 142500 m3
