500 mL of $0.2 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}$solution in basic medium when mixed with 500 mL of 1.5 M KI solution, oxidises iodide ions to liberate molecular iodine. This liberated iodine is then titrated with a standard $x \mathrm{M}$ thiosulphate solution in presence of starch till the end point. If 300 mL of thiosulphate was consumed, then the value of $x$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .
