That's a rogue question.
It should be asked as no. of alkanes possible which are chiral with having molecular weight leass than equal to 100 because perfect 100 scoring molecular weight alkane is't possible .
Therefore,
the compounds could be:
 trans-1,2-dimethylcyclopropane
and all cyclic compounds of C5H10 wlould be chiral.
Cyclic compounds of C5H6 C5H8 and C4H4.

formula of an alkane CnH2n+2. so after solving 12n+2n+2=100,we get n=7.so the alkane is C7H16.the chiral alkanes are 2- ethyl pentane and 2-ethyl -3-methyl butane.
