This compound have 8 single bonds(2 between carbons and 6 between one carbon and one hydrogen). Similarly, it has 2 double bonds(between Carbon-Carbon and Carbon-Oxygen). Now, a single bond is one sigma bond and one double bond is one sigma and one pi bond.
So, the total number of sigma bonds is 8 + 2 = 1 0 .
And, the total number of pi bonds is 2 .
