Detailed Solution
Ozonolysis of a cyclic alkene opens the ring and gives a single dicarbonyl compound.
The ring carbon bearing a methyl group on the double bond becomes the $CH_3-CO-$ end, the other alkene carbon becomes the $-CHO$ end, and the second methyl sits on the middle carbon.
So the compound is 1,4-dimethylcyclopentene.
