Equivalent circuit
Hence, no charge will flow through 20 mF
C1 and C2 are in series, also C3 and C4 are in series.
Hence, C'' = 3 mF, C" = 3 mF
C'' and C" are in parallel.
Hence net capacitance = C'' + C" = 3 + 3 = 6 mF

Dear Student, Please find below the solution to your problem.
Equivalent circuit
Hence C1/C3 = C2/C4 Hence, no charge will flow through 20 mF C1 and C2 are in series, also C3 and C4 are in series. Hence, C'' = 3 mF, C" = 3 mF C'' and C" are in parallel. Hence net capacitance = C'' + C" = 3 + 3 = 6 mF
