Delocalisation will be thee only when conjugation is there i.e double bonds are separated by a single bond so the second stucture is wrong.
If any mistake is on my side than pls show me the change from first structure into the other.

I also know the answer is non aromatic but i was asking that in the above given equation the two structures given in the product how are they interconvertible into one another as to form  resonating structures you must have conjugation between the pi-pi electons.

Hi..
The two structures mentioned in the above answer are not the interconvertable forms.
This actually depicts that on the reduction of toluene either the first structure or the second structure will be obtained. This is because there is delocalization in the benzene ring and hence either of the two compounds cam be formed.
It is just the representation which is different, both are actually the same compounds.
Hope this clears the doubt now..
Regards
