ACGA constitutes a Wheatstone bridge; hence, 8 $$\Omega$$ is redundant and hence can be removed. Therefore,

$${R_{AG}} = {{3 \times 6} \over 9} = \,2\,\Omega $$

AGDFA again constitutes a Wheatstone bridge 10 $$\Omega$$ which is redundant and hence can be removed.

$${R_{AB}} = {{6 \times 18} \over {24}} = 4.5\,\,\Omega $$
