When RNA is hydrolysed, there is no relationship among the quantities of different bases obtained. What does this fact suggest about the structure of RNA?

Concept of DNA & RNA structure
DNA have double strand structure in which pairing of bases occurs. Here, adenine pairs with thymine and cytosine pairs with guanine.
On hydrolysis, the amount of thymine produce is equal to the amount of adenine and amount of guanine is equal to the amount of cytosine.
But when RNA is hydrolyzed, there is no relationship among the quantities of bases (C,G,A and U). This suggest that RNA is a single strand structure.
