.

The volume of the water initially in the tank is  V%5Bw%5D = 32*20*10 = 6400 cm^3.


The total volume / (capacity) of the tank is  C = 32*20*30 = 19200 cm^3.



The volume of the stone is  V%5Bstone%5D = 25*18*15 = 6750 cm^3.


The sum  V%5Bw%5D + V%5Bstone%5D = 6400 + 6750 = 13150 cm^3.


The conclusion:  there is NO overflowing.      ANSWER
