Dear Raja ,
First of all you must know that hydrogen present in alpha carbon are alpha hydrogens and alpha carbon is a carbon from which a functional group is attached ..
 
In the above compound there are 2 carbon attached to C=C( carbon double bond carbon ) and that carbon atom has 3 and 2 alpha hydrogens …
HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU ...

The carbon atom next to doubly bonded c atom is alpha carbon.Here there are two groups attached to doubly bonded c atom one is methyl and other is methylene. The H atoms of these groups are alpha H.Hence in all there are 5 alpha H.
