Solution
The correct option is CR5
As from the configuration, we can deduce that, 1 and 2 are in parallel,
1R12=1R+1R=2R
Now potential at y will be some as potential at θ, which implies that there will be no current through arm yθ and hence that's why resister 6 can be neglected and hence then there will be five 5 resister which are in parallel with each other.
