This question is an exact duplicate of:

What is the capacity of this circuit? [duplicate]

Please refer to the image below.

The question asks: 'The effective capacitance between terminals A and B in the network shown in the adjoining figure is?'

Here is my working:

(C5 and C6 connected in series.. in parallel to C2 and C4 connected in series).. connected in series with C1 and C3.

Series(C5+C6) = 1 microFarad

Series(C2+C4) = 1.5 microFarads

Parallel (1+1.5) = 2.5 microFarads

Series(C1+C3+2.5) = 15/26 microFarads (Answer)

The correct answer from the marking scheme is 8/3 microFarads. Could someone please explain how to get to this answer? I am really confused.
