The quantity of water to be added is 108 litres.
Total quantity = 180 litres
Ratio of milk to water = 3:2
Quantity of milk = 3/(3+2) * 180 = 3/5 * 180 = 108.
Quantity of water = 2/(3+2) * 180 = 2/5 * 180 = 72.
If the ratio of milk to water is 2:3
Quantity of milk = 2/(2+3) * 180 = 2/5 * 180 = 72.
Quantity of water = 3/(2+3) * 180 = 3/5 * 180 = 108.
