We take R₃ and R₄, which are parallel, compute resistance which is R/2, and replace with one resistor. Now this resistor is series with R₂, compute again and we get 3R/2. This resistor will be parallel with R₁, thus Rₜₒₜₐₗ=(1/3R/2+1/R)⁻¹=(2/3R+1/R)⁻¹=(5/3R)⁻¹=R*3/5.

I think R₁, R₃ and R₄ are parallel, then we calculate total resistance of these resistors which is R/3, and now we are left with two 'main' resistors in series, we add them up and get R*4/3

I edited subscripts. How can I collapse parallel/series resistors into one when single resistor is parallel and also series, depending resistor I consider it with.

Thanks for the tip. So "a" is branching location (the image again, PS: i couldn't upload local image, so i have to use off-site link), because charge can choose which branch will it flow, and also in each branch here should be one resistor otherwise they would be considered series, so that...

Thanks, I had doubt but now I'm sure of my answer.

Other possible answers are: 5.2 m; 5.3 m; 5.5 m; 5.8 m. And from answers, it says that the correct one is 5.5 m.
