The simplified equivalent circuit is:

F1 Engineering Arbaz 29-12-23 D17

 

10Ω and 15Ω are in parallel.

\(R={15\times 10\over 15+10}=6\space Ω\)

6Ω and 8Ω are in series.

R = 6+8 = 14 Ω 

When two equal resistances are connected in parallel, their equivalent resistance is always the half of resistance.

\(R_{ab}={14\over 2}=7\Omega\)
