🧠 The "Aha!" Moment
To count hybridisation and  bonds, you must "see" through the condensed formula.
-  carbons: These are carbons involved in exactly one double bond.
-  bonds: Every double bond has one  bond; every triple bond has two  bonds.

🗺️ Breaking Down the Structure
The compound is Methyl 2-oxo-4-phenylbut-3-ynoate (or a similar derivative based on the NEET 2020 problem). Let's trace it:
1. The Benzene Ring (): 
   - Contains 6 carbon atoms, all of which are  hybridized.
   - Contain
