The correct answer is: 32 Ω
Since resistance connected in arms CE, ED, CF
and FD will form a balanced Wheatstone bridge,
therefore, the resistance of arm EF becomes
ineffective. Now resistance of arm CED or CFD=2+2=4Ω
Effective resistance of these two parallel arm =4×44+4=2Ω

Now resistance of arm ACDB=2+2+2=6Ω
in parallel with resistance arm AB=2Ω Thus,
effective resistance between A and B

=6×26+2=32Ω
