    initial concentration = 60%

    initial volume = 2 L

    Final volume = 5 L

    Final concentration required = Less than 50%

    This is possible if we add a less concentrated solution of say concentration x%

    5X (50) = 2 X 60 + 3 (x)

    x = 43.33

    So we have to add 3 L of solution with concentration less than 43.33%
