Detailed Solution

ρ=1.2g/ml; V = 100 ml and 20% by mass is H2SO4
ρ=mVm=ρ×V=1.2ml×100ml=120gWH2SO4=20100×120=24g
Secondly; ρ=1.4g/ml
V = 100 ml = 40% by mass
ρ=mVm=1.4×100=140gWH2SO4=40100×140=56g
On mixing both solutions
Final Molarity is 2498+6498 moles in 200ml
In 1000ml24+5698×58098×5=4.08
Final molarity is 4.08 M
Moles of H2SO4 is 24+5698
Wsolvent =(12024)+(14056)=180g in 180g solvent  Moles H2SO4=8098
For 1000 g solvent 8098×100×1000=4.54m
