JEE Main 24 June 2022, Shift 2, Chemistry Q89

Question 89 of 90 in this shift, Chemistry question 29 of 30, Section B.

Consider the above reaction. The number of π\pi electrons present in the product 'P' is ________.

The figure, in words

Skeletal structure drawn as a zigzag chain: a carbon bearing a Cl substituent (Cl drawn above it), with a line to a stub carbon on its left, and a line on its right to a second carbon that carries a short line stub drawn downward, then to a further carbon that is double-bonded to a terminal carbon (double bond drawn at the upper right end). Arrow labelled NaOH (above) and H2O (below), product labelled P (Major Product).
