Use principal of superposition. I can say that it is a superposition of two cases. One the case when we enter the current ( let us assume 1A) through one of the given pts. Then i can say it splits into 3 diff branches equally. Case 2 When we take out 1 A from the system we are effectively taken out 1/3 A from the given branch. If we add up the two we can see that a total of 2/3 A is passing through it. From here it becomes simple to find out the equivalent resistance i.e 2 ohm.
Note: the potential drop across those two pts is 2 V. We had entered 1 A. Hence resistance is 2 ohm.
