100 sq yard in gaj is simply 100 gaj. In land deals, one gaj (गज) means one square yard, so the number does not change. Both are 900 square feet.
Why square yard and gaj are the same
People say "varg gaj" (वर्ग गज) because varg means square. A gaj of cloth is a length of one yard, about 3 feet. A gaj of land is a square of 3 feet by 3 feet, which is 9 square feet. Sale deeds in north India often write "100 varg gaj", while a builder brochure may write "100 sq yd". They describe the same plot.
In Telangana and Andhra Pradesh the same unit is called gajam. A 100 gajam house site there is also 900 square feet.
