Dear student,

From symmetry, the potential at points above and below both the5\mu Fand10\mu Fcapacitors must be same. Therefore there will be no potential difference across any of them and so no charge will be stored, which means that the capacitors can be replaced by a conducting wire.

Hence the circuit reduces to three pairs of two parallel3\mu Fcapacitors connected in series.

Hence the equivalent capacitance is\dfrac{1}{3}\times 2\times 3\mu F=2\mu F
