It's very easy.

See below...

Explanation:

You should know that how many bonds are between "A"-"T" and "G"-"C".

  • Adenine and thymine binds with color(red)(2 Hydrogen bonds.
  • Whereas guanine and cytosine binds with color(red)(3 hydrogen bonds.

Now, count how many "A"-"T" and "G"-"C" bonds are there.

I found color(red)(4 "A"-"T" bonds and color(red)3 "G"-"C" bonds.

Then total amount of hydrogen bonds are color(blue)((4xx2+3xx3)=17

Hope it helps...
Thank you..
