A certain 4-liter solution of vinegar and water consists of x liters of vinegar and y liters of water. How many liters of vinegar does the solution contain?
(1) x/4 = 3/8
(2) y/4 = 5/8
(1) x/4 = 3/8
(2) y/4 = 5/8
Show SpoilerMy concern
Can someone help to solve this using allegations and mixtures?
NOTE: I know this can be solved using finding values of x and y too... but i am looking for allegations method out of curiosity..

This is not an allegations question. allegations would be used in something like this:
you have a solution which is 10% vinegar and 90% water. The new solution needs to be 85% water. How much vinegar should be added. (not a very good question but something like this).
Let me give you a real question which you may want to solve using allegation:
A certain quantity of 40% solution is replaced with 25% solution such that the new concentration is 35%. What is the fraction of the solution that was replaced?
(A) 1/4
(B) 1/3
(C) 1/2
(D) 2/3
(E) ¾

We don't need allegation for solve this question
Given: x + y = 4
(1) x = 1.5
Sufficient.
(2) y = 2.5
hence x = 4 - 2.5 =1.5
Sufficient
Hence D
