Work out mol of sulfuric acid from mass and Mr
Divide answer by the number of litres in the solution.

1.

turn the 200cm 3 into dm3

2.

moles of H2SO4 , using mr x moles = mass

3.

use formula for concentration = moles / volume

Are you sure the formula you’ve given in step 2 is correct?

If you check the units, you’ll find that Mr x mass will give you a quantity in g^2 mol^-1, which isn’t a meaningful unit.

I think you mean moles = mass/Mr (or moles x Mr = mass, if you rearrange it)
