To pair emitter and receiver of FM signal, the frequency of both devices must be the same. So we have to compute the value the value of inductance L in order to have the circuit frequency oscillating at 100 MHz. 
f=12πLC

Resonant frequency, f=100MHz 
capacitance, C=10pF 
The formula of the resonant frequency is 
f=12πLC 
Resonant frequency, f=100MHz 
capacitance, C=10pF 
Let the inductance be L.
Replace the values in the formula
100×106=12πL×10×1012 
4π2×1016=1L×1011 

Result:
L=2.54×107H
