Step 1: Molarity is defined as:
\[
M=\frac{\text{Number of moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution in litres}}
\]
Step 2: Therefore,
\[
\text{Number of moles}=M \times V
\]
Step 3: Given:
\[
M=0.2\,M
\]
and
\[
V=250\,ml=\frac{250}{1000}=0.25\,L
\]
Step 4: Substitute the values:
\[
\text{Moles}=0.2 \times 0.25
\]
\[
=0.05
\]
Step 5: Hence, the number of moles of urea present is:
\[
\boxed{0.05}
\]
