    the compound is hexadeca-6,10-diyne.

    Explanation:

    As given that the compound has two triple bonds and it is giving carboxylic acids on ozonolyis so this is an oxidative ozonolysis.

    We are getting only two kinds of products, it means the triple bonds are located at symmetrical position.

    The middle carbon chain must have four carbons and the side chains must have six carbons each,

    The structure of hydrocarbon is shown in figure.
