An interesting question
Sarvesaa:
Dear friends,
Today I appeared for a competitive exam where I got this question they are asking the total current through circuit. I have attached the circuit down.
I think you find it interesting.

Thank you

Since, by inspection, there is no voltage across the "diagonal" 5 ohm resistor, and therefore no current through it, the solution is straightforward.

Which I assume is the real reason for the question: to see who does and does not see the symmetry.

Sarvesaa:
Yes its straight forward if you know that 3/6 = 3/6 so its simply a balanced wheatstone bridge. Since it is balanced no current flows through the 5\$\Omega\$ resistor. The total resistance is 6\$\Omega\$ and the total current is 1 ampere with 6volt battery. :-+
Thank you
Edit The total current is 0.8333 A with 5volt battery as given in the circuit
