this will help you friend - No it doesn't need to fertilize all of them. As little as one fertilized ovule will do, and in a number of cases no fertilization at all is needed. The last case is most commonly seen in fruit we eat like bananas or seedless grapes. Interestingly seedless grapes need to be pollinated to set fruit. The pollen kick-starts the production of the fruit even though the ovules are sterile.

In regards to normal fruit that does need fertilization of ovules, many times a very low fertilization rate (e.g. one or two seeds out of 100 possible in an ovary) the fruit will be misshapen. That is due to the plant preferentially developing the fruit in the area around the fertilized ovules and neglecting the parts.
