RAB=4R3
You can also solve it using Delta-Star conversion.

Explanation:

enter image source here

R1 and R2 are connected in series.R8=R1+R2=2R

R3 and R4 are connected in series.R9=R3+R4=2R

R8R6=2RR=2

R9R7=2RR=2

R8R9=2R2R=1

R6R7=RR=1

  • Since the resistor ratios in the contacts are equal, no current flows through R5.

R8 and R9 are connected in series.Rx=R8+R9=4R

R6 and R7 are connected in series.Ry=R6+R7=2R

Rx and Ry are connected in parallel. RAB=RxRyRx+Ry

RAB=4R2R4R+2R

RAB=8R26R

RAB=4R3
