Detailed Solution

Step-I: Attach a 100 V battery and assign potential at each node.

Step-II: By symmetry  100y=y0  or  y=50  V

Step-III: Now apply  KCL at node c

x100R+x+50R+x0R=0

Or x= 50 V

Step-IV: If Req  is equivalent resistance of this circuit, we have

100Req=xR+50R+5012          or  Req=23R

Alternative method

Making 2D projection

 There is perpendicular axis of symmetry, i..e, the points COP will be equipotential then the circuit will be
