First thing first, the longest chain has already been mentioned i.e. 6 membered carbon.  So the hydrocarbon chain would be hexa.

Then there is no saturation and the main the functional group is amide is the carbon chain will be named hexanamide.

next the functional group are cyano. There is one ethyl group attached at 3 position and one attached to nitrogen.

So we add

5-cyano-N-ethyl-3-ethyl hexanamide


harikumarvidya: Do we write it as N,3 diethyl?
nidin1996: No.
nidin1996: we usually specify the heteroatom on which the group os present.
harikumarvidya: Ok thank you
