The equivalent network is

Question Image

Clearly, the network of resistances is a balanced Wheatstone bridge. So RAB is given by

\frac{1}{R_{AB}}=\frac{1}{3R}+\frac{1}{6R}=\frac{2+1}{6R}=\frac{1}{2R}\Rightarrow\,R_{AB}=2R

For maximum power transfer

2R=4\Omega\,\Rightarrow\,R=\frac{4}{2}=2\Omega
