SUMMARY
The correct method to calculate the equivalent resistance of the given circuit involves first combining resistors R1 and R3 in parallel, followed by combining resistors R2 and R4 in parallel. The results of these two parallel combinations are then added in series. Finally, the total resistance from the series combination is placed in parallel with resistor R5 to find the overall equivalent resistance. This method ensures accurate calculation of the circuit's total resistance.
