Solution

$\mathrm{Zn}(\mathrm{OH})_{2}(\mathrm{~s}) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{Zn}^{+2}(\mathrm{aq})+2 \mathrm{OH}^{-}(\mathrm{aq})$

$\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad S\quad\quad\quad\quad (0.1+2S) \simeq\,0.1$

$\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{sp}}=\mathrm{S}(0.1)^{2}$

$2 \times 10^{-20}=\mathrm{s} \times 10^{-2} \Rightarrow \mathrm{S}=2 \times 10^{-18}$

$=\mathrm{x} \times 10^{-18}$

$\mathrm{x}=2$
