Consider a as initial concentration of PCl5 and x be degree of dissociation.
Dissociation of PCl5 takes place according to following reaction
PCl5 → PCl3+Cl2
Initial conc: a 0 0
Final conc : a(1-x) ax ax
[Cl2] = 0.1 = ax ...(1)
Kc = ([PCl3][Cl2])/ [PCl5]
0.04 = (ax. ax)/a(1-x)
Solving this we'll get,
x=0.4
From (i) 
a = 0.1/0.4 = 0.25
Hence, we can say moles of PCl5 added is 0.25 moles
