Detailed Solution

Since no water added, so volume of solution cannot exceed 2L. So, less concentrated solution should be taken in its total volume. Only the small portion of more concentrated solution is to be mixed, so that the total concentrated is less than (0.3 M HCI). Let x L of 0.3 M solution is mixed. 

Total volume = (x+1) L

M1V1+M2V2=M3V3                     V3=(1+x)L0.3×xL+0.15×1L=M3(1+x)L Final molarity =0.2M0.3x+0.15=0.2(1+x)x=0.5L Maximum volume =1+0.5=1.5L
