Detailed Solution

In acidic medium  1MKMnO4=5NKMnO4
 0.02MKMnO4=0.1NKMnO4
According to normality equation,
 N1V1(KMnO4)=N2V2(Oxalicacid) 0.1×10=N2×20N2=10×0.1200.05N
 Again, N1V1 (Oxalic acid)=N2V2  (NaOH)
 0.05×25=N2×20 N2=0.05×2520=0.0625N
 Strength = Normality × equiv. wt.
= 0.0625 × 40 = 2.5 gL1
