Please Draw the major product for the reaction 

 

The image shows a chemical reaction scheme. Starting on the left, there's a structural chemical formula representing a bicyclic compound with a nitro group (NO₂) attached to the benzene ring. This compound is a nitroderivative of a bicyclic system, featuring a benzene ring fused to a cyclopentane. An arrow points to the right, indicating the direction of the reaction. Above the arrow, the reagent is HNO₃ (nitric acid), and below the arrow, H₂SO₄ (sulfuric acid) is listed, which is often used as a catalyst or dehydrating agent in chemical reactions. This diagram likely represents the nitration process of an aromatic compound using mixed acid (a combination of nitric and sulfuric acids) as the nitrating agent.
