Don't think that can be straight up answered with a number. The standard pushup targets your tri's,chest,back. There are lots of variations of the pushup. Anyways if you do them non stop all the time you would likely not gain much muscle mass because your body is not going to be able to get much recovery time. However if you did do them in insane reps you would benefit from good endurance, a good cardio benefit, and good balance.

I would suggest doing as many of the regular pushups you can throughout the day (say every hour or two try) and once you can't do anymore of them drop to your knees and max out the girlie style. I remember reading that the standard is about 65% of your body weight against you and the girlie style is around 30%.

Down lots of protein and water no matter what you do and give yourself at least 24hrs rest if you want some muscle growth. Just pick a number for a day and try to reach it, even if your last sets get to be only 5 it will make you a tiny bit stronger.

If you want pure bigness and don't care about cardio/endurance then go to the gym, get a spotter, and stick to low rep high weight compound exercises (deadlifts,squats,arnold presses, benchpress,military press,etc..)

How can one do a perfect pushup?

Doing the perfect pushup takes a little patience and practice. You have to first start out with building strength in your pushup muscles. Then you will gradually increase the weight that you apply and how many you do each day.

If you are unfit and can't do a push up and a friend said to hold the up position for 30 seconds to build up strength to actually do a pushup so how many reps and sets should i hold it for?

I'd do as many as I could the first time. After that point, try to do one more each day, taking a day off every three or four days. After a couple of weeks, add a few push-ups to the mix.
