Answer:

Two possible compounds are shown below- one with an exocyclic double bond and another one with an endocyclic double bond

Explanation:

Reaction of alkene with [tex]Hg(OAc)_{2}[/tex] gives a complex of mercurous ion.

Then water molecule attacks this complex through [tex]S_{N}2[/tex] type reaction at more substituted position.

[tex]NaBH_{4}[/tex] cleaves the resultant C-Hg bond and forms a C-H bond.

Two possible structures of an alkene is possible to yield 1-methylcyclohexanol which are shown below.
