isomerism

1aiv) why does the double bond disappear when we draw the isomer
2biii) i drawed the middle structure in the answer but dont understand which is carbon 1 2 3 4 . according to them carbon 3 is the top right

An isomer has to have the same molecular formula, in this case C4H8
A functional group isomer must change the functional group. The only way you can do this with a double bond and no heteroatoms is by using alicyclic structures.

In question b) no numbering is necessary as the simple structure names are non-ambiguous.
