for buffer solution 
             pH = pKa + log [ salt ] / [Acid]        …..(1)
    where Ka = Dissociation constant of acid 
in this question pH = 6.04 ,  pKa  =  4.74 ,  [ salt ] / [Acid] = ?
 from eq. (1) 
            6.04 = 4.74 + log [ salt ] / [Acid]  
           1.3    =   log [ salt ] / [Acid]
 [ salt ] / [Acid]  = Antilog (1.3)
 [ salt ] / [Acid]  = 1.995 * 10 = 19.95
