Suppose that number is x .Now we use the given condition then we get.
x^2*4 = 20*x
cancle one x from both side we get
4*x = 20
x = 20/4
x = 5

Suppose the number is x
Four times the square of number=4x²
As per given 
4x²=20*x
4x²-20x=0
4x(x-5)=0
 
x=0 or x-5=0
Thus x=0 or 5
 
Neglecting the x=0 then x=5
 
Thus the said number=5
