where R is the equivalent resistance of remaining network. As it is an infinite series, the equivalent resistance of the above circuit also will be R.
Here, R and 1 Ω are in parallel and combination is in series with other two 1 Ω resistance.
So, diagram will be

Question Image

Total resistance,
1+1+RR+1=RRR+1=R2R=R2R2R22R2=0
Solving R=(√3+1)Ω, 

so the equivalent resistance is (√3+1)Ω.
