Answer = 6 electrons.
In the Nitrogen molecule there are two Nitrogen atoms forming together a triple bond. Each bond is formed by a pair of electrons. So totally 6 electrons bond the two atoms together.
The two dots represent two lone electrons in the 1s orbital. They do not participate in the bond. The triple lines represent three bonds.

In some compounds Nitrogen could form bonds with 3 electrons. Then the total number of electrons participating are only 3. (from 2p3)
Nitrogen reacts with some atoms with a valency of 5. So then the total number of electrons in the bond formation are 5. There are totally 5 electrons in the outermost valency shell.

It’s asked to find no. of electrons involved in formation of nitrogen molecule (N₂)
yes. You are right. Oversight
6 electrons right, i answered for each atom.

N₂ represents nitrogen molecule
There exist a triple bond in between two nitrogen atoms.
So, total number of electrons participating in bond formation of nitrogen molecule is 6.
Also, there is a lone pair of electron on each nitrogen atom of nitrogen molecule.
