The concerned reaction is 

2KMnO4+3H2SO4+5(COOH)2K2SO4+2MnSO4+10CO2+8H2O

[For KMnO4]                         [For oxalic acid]

V1=20ml                              V2=10ml

M1=0.02M                           M2=?

n1=2,                          n2=5

M1V1n1=M2V2n2

0.02×202=M2×105

M2=0.02×20×510×2=0.1M
