Answer: 10

In the given circuit, both $4\Omega$ resistors get shorted out, thus no current will flow from them. Removing the resistors from which no current will flow.
Now, the circuit can be redrawn as shown below.

${R}_{eq}=3+(2‖2)+6$
$\Rightarrow {R}_{eq}=3+\dfrac{2\times 2}{2+2}+6$
$\Rightarrow {R}_{eq}=10\Omega$
