I forgot 2 include in the question that both tank A and tank B are rectangular tanks. Also, I think you probably know that the "12 L" I put in my question, is 12 litres.. I juz need a answer, though a detailed explanation will be much appreciated too.

The volume is 96 L. The reason is that given all dimensions are twice that of tank A, the volume equatiion looks like this
V(a) = H x L x W
V(b) = 2H x 2L x 2W
factoring, you get 8HLW.
Since HLW = V(a) = 12 L, V(b) = 8 x 12L

96 L. Since volume is determined by length x width x height and all dimensions of tank B are twice that of tank A, the total volume of tank B is 8 (2 x 2 x 2) times that of tank A.

Tank B is x.
Make an equation. Tank A is doubled to equal Tank B.
x = 2A
Fill in Tank A's size.
x = 2(12)
Solve...
x = 24

volume = LxWxH
so if tank A a is 2x2x2
tank B is 4x4x4
so tank B capacity is 96 L

let the dimensions of the tank A be x,y and z
Now the volume of the tank A will be x*y*z = 12L
the dimensions of tank B are twice that of tank A i.e. 2x, 2y and 2z
So its volume is 2x*2y*2z = 8*x*y*z = 8*12 = 96L

volume of the rectangle=l*b*h=12L=tankA
volume of tankB=2l*2b*2h=8lbh=8*12=96L

seems to me that it'd be 24 L...24 being twice 12 (12x2= 24).
