Mieko used 1/4 of 2 gallons, which is 1/4 x 2 = 1/2 gallon of paint on her bedroom.
She used 3 quarts, which is 3/4 gallon on the hallway.
So, she used a total of 1/2 + 3/4 = 5/4 gallons on both the bedroom and hallway.
Therefore, she used 2 - 5/4 = 3/4 gallon of paint in the living room.
Since 1 gallon is equal to 4 quarts, then 3/4 gallon is equal to 3/4 x 4 = 3 quarts.
Therefore, the answer is A. 3 quarts.
