To know the no. of $σ and π bonds$ $sigma and pi" bonds"$ the Lewis structure of the compound is to be drawn showing all single,double and triple bonds. In this structure

$Each single bond is 1 σ bond$ $" Each single bond is 1"sigma" bond"$

$Each double bond is 1 σ and 1 π bond$ $" Each double bond is 1"sigma and 1 pi" bond"$

$Each triple bond is 1 σ and 2 π bond$ $" Each triple bond is 1"sigma and 2 pi" bond"$

Using the above information we get can the no. of $σ and π bonds$ $sigma and pi"bonds"$ in the given structure.

$4 single bonds \to 4 σ bonds$ $4" single bonds"->4sigma " bonds"$

$1 double bond \to 1 σ and 1 π bonds$ $1" double bond"->1sigma and 1pi " bonds"$

$4 triple bond \to 4 σ and 8 π bonds$ $4" triple bond"->4sigma and 8pi " bonds"$

$So we have total \to 9 σ and 9 π bonds here$ $color(red)("So we have total"->9sigma and 9pi " bonds here")$
