Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the connection between D-L-H shorts out the resistors on the right. Those 4 resistors can be ignored.

The connection between D-L-K means the 2 resistors between C-D and C-K are in parallel. The equivalent resistance of 2 6-ohm resistors in parallel is 3 ohms.

Similarly the connection between K-L-H means the 2 resistors between J-K and J-H are in parallel. The equivalent resistance of 2 6-ohm resistors in parallel is 3 ohms.

Adding the resistors in series together:

A-C-L-J-D = 6 + 3 + 3 + 6

= 18 ohms
