Solution

Smallest whole number = 0
Greatest 2-digit whole number = 99
The whole numbers between 0 and 99 are 1, 2, 3, 4,...,97, 98.
To find the number of whole numbers between 0 and 99, subtract 1 from the difference of 0 and 99.
∴ Number of whole numbers between 0 and 99 = (99 − 0) − 1
= 99 − 1
= 98
Hence, the correct option is (d).
