Using on to attach the 'click' handler you can use the event data in order to pass your data like in:

for(var i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
  $('#question' + i).on('click', {'idx': i}, function(e) {
    alert('you clicked ' + e.data.idx);
  });
}

//
// let's creat 20 buttons
//

for(var j = 0; j < 20; j++) {
	$('body').append($('', {type: 'button', id: 'question' + j, text: 'Click Me ' + j}))
}

//
// Passing data to the handler
//
for(var i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
  $('#question' + i).on('click', {'idx': i}, function(e) {
    console.log('you clicked ' + e.data.idx);
  });
}
