(a)
Interpretation: The number of rings and number of pi bonds in A is to be determined. And one possible structure is to be drawn.
Concept introduction: Degree of unsaturation is used to determine the total number of rings and pi bonds present in compound by just looking at the molecular formula. It does not specify the total number of rings and total number of pi bonds individually.
Answer to Problem 12.35P

The maximum number of
The number
Substitute the values of maximum number of
The degree of unsaturation is calculated by the formula,
Hence, the degree of unsaturation after hydrogenation is one.
The number of pi bonds in A is calculated by the formula,
Substitute the values of degree of unsaturation before hydrogenation and degree of unsaturation after hydrogenation in the above formula.
Hence, the number of pi bonds is one.
Number of rings is calculated by the formula,
Substitute the values of degree of unsaturation and number of pi bonds in the above formula.
Hence, the number of rings is one.
The possible structure for A is,
