Answer 2

Answer:

A. 198

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of birds be x.

According to the question,

To make the number of birds hundred, half the number of birds plus one is required.

Equation :

$\sf \implies \frac{x}{2} + 1 = 100 \\\\\implies \sf \frac{x}{2} = 100 - 1\\\\\implies \sf \frac{x}{2} = 99\\\\\implies \sf x = 99 * 2 \\\\\boxed{\red{\bf \therefore x = 198}}$

Hence, the total number of birds is 198.

_______________________

Verification :

If the total number of birds is 198. Then, half the number of them is 198/2 = 99. And, if one bird is added to it. The total number of birds becomes 100.
