...an olefin whose formula is #C_6H_12#...

Explanation:

And if we write it out....

#H_3stackrel(1)C(H_3C)stackrel(2)C=CHCH_2stackrel(5)CH_3#..

Because #stackrel(2)C# is symmetrically substituted, there is no tuneroppity for geometric isomerism about the olefinic bond between #stackrel(2)C# and #stackrel(3)C#. What would occur for #"2-pentene"#?
