(a)
Interpretation:
Two structures of the given compound are to be drawn using the abbreviations for substituent groups abbreviated as methyl groups for one structure and a five-carbon skeleton, two methyl groups, and a tert-butyl group for other structure is to be shown.
Concept introduction:
The skeletal structure of a compound is represented by the line having several vertices. These vertices in the skeletal structure represent the carbon atoms presents in the structure. In the skeletal structure, the valence of the carbon is satisfied by the hydrogen atoms which are not shown. If any atom other than carbon and hydrogen is present in the molecule then it is denoted by its symbol in the skeletal structure.
