A Correct answer
Explanation

The ratio of milk to water in a mixture remains constant regardless of the quantity removed, provided no additional milk or water is added.

AI explanation

Since the initial ratio of milk to water in the vessel is 3:2, removing 20 liters of this uniform mixture removes milk and water in that exact same 3:2 ratio. Removing 20 liters takes out 12 liters of milk and 8 liters of water, leaving 24 liters of milk and 16 liters of water in the vessel. The ratio of the remaining milk and water remains 24:16, which simplifies to 3:2.
