The proton NMR has two singlets of equal area. The fact that the molecule has 6 hydrogens means that there must be two non-identical CH3 groups in the molecule and that they are non-adjacent. The peak at 
1.95 is in the area generally observed for methyl groups adjacent to carbonyls; the peak at 3.85 is in the region for methyl groups adjacent to electronegative atoms, i.e., oxygen.
