Answer:
If you want the first option you need 2.5M.
If you want the second, you will end up with 120ml so your starting solution is:
0.5x (120/20) = 3.0M
This assumes that there’s no loss of volume on mixing. To remove that uncertainty, start with the 20ml of acid and add water, mixing, till you get the right volume.
