es, Mixture and Alligation questions are relevant for the GMAT! They fall under the Quant/Word Problem category — mostly tested as weighted average or ratio problems.
While GMAT doesn’t directly label them as “Alligation,” the underlying logic (finding average concentration, combining solutions, or determining proportions) is often tested in mixture-style questions.
It’s worth practicing those, but focus on the  concepts of averages and ratios  rather than the traditional “alligation rule” shortcuts — since GMAT prefers reasoning-based approaches.
