Solution:

Ans(d); 

Number of 1 at unit place = 10

Not at all...when we see 1 two times in 11 then why will we not count it twice...it must be counted twice because here the question has been asked is "How many times would the number “1” be written while listing the integers from 1 to 100?"...

so,

Number of 1 at unit place = 10

Number of 1 at ten's place = 10

Number of 1 at hundred's place=1

Required number of 1 = 10+10+1=21
