Best Answer

For pollen grains, the answer is easy - not all pollen will reach another flower, it has to depend on wind or an animal vector, and some may be lost to rain or being brushed off by a non-pollinating organism that happens to come in contact with the pollen. So the more pollen produced, the better the chance that some will reach its intended target.

For the number of ovules, this isn't well known. It's often thought to be related to the primitive or advanced development of the plant species. As a plant becomes more "advanced", the number of parts generally decreases, often through fusion of the parts.
