Answer:

10Ω

Step-by-step explanation:

The 10Ω resistors are in series, so their combined resistance is:

10Ω + 10Ω = 20Ω

The 8Ω resistors are in parallel, so their combined resistance is:

(1/8Ω + 1/8Ω)⁻¹ = 4Ω

This 4Ω resistance is in series with the 16Ω resistor, so the combined is resistance is:

4Ω + 16Ω = 20Ω

Finally, this 20Ω resistance and the first 20Ω resistance are in parallel, so the total equivalent resistance is:

(1/20Ω + 1/20Ω)⁻¹ = 10Ω
