(N/A) No,the number of eggs laid by oviparous animals is not necessarily equal to the number of offspring produced by viviparous animals.
$1$. In oviparous animals,the number of eggs varies significantly. For example,fish and frogs lay a large number of eggs to ensure survival against predators,whereas birds like the ostrich lay only one or a few eggs.
$2$. Similarly,in viviparous animals,the number of offspring produced varies. Some animals like humans typically give birth to a single offspring,while others like dogs or cats give birth to multiple offspring at once.
$3$. Therefore,there is no fixed rule that the number of eggs in oviparous animals equals the number of offspring in viviparous animals; it depends on the species,reproductive strategy,and environmental factors.
