Question

How many times does the letter `A' appear from 0 to 100?

• A. 79
• B. 87
• C. 68
• D. None of these

Hint:

Watch for trick wording—counting letters in spelled-out numbers up to 100 yields zero occurrences of `a'.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Interpret “from 0 to 100” as the spelled-out English names:
\(\text{zero, one, two, }\ldots,\text{ ninety-nine, one hundred}\).
There is no letter `a' in any of these words (up to \(100\) inclusive) unless one uses “and” (e.g., “one hundred and one”), which is not within 0–100. Hence the count is \(0\), which is not in options (a)–(c).
\[ \boxed{\text{Answer: None of these}} \]
