1.5

1.7

2.3

2.5

3.0

OA with explanation will be posted in my blog in 24 hrs time.

Mixture A contains x gallons.

Mixture B contains y gallons.

Amount of alcohol in Mixture A= .15(x)

Amount of alcohol in Mixture B=.5(x)

x+y=4

.15(x)+.5(y)=1.2

y=4-x

.15(x)+.5(4-x)=1.2

.15(x)+2-.5(x)=1.2

2-.35x=1.2

-.8=-.35x

x~2.3 gallons C.

I agree with truplayer256. The answer should be C.
