$R^{\prime}=\frac{2 R^{2}}{3 R}$

$R^{\prime}=\frac{2 R}{3}$

$R^{\prime}=\frac{2 R}{3}+2 R$

$R^{\prime}=\frac{8 R}{3}$

$R_{e q}=\frac{2 R \cdot R \cdot 8 R / 3}{2 R^{2}+16 R^{2} / 3+8 R^{2} / 3}$

$R_{eq}=\frac{16 R^{3} / 3}{10 R^{2}}$

$R_{e q}=\frac{8 R}{15}$

$=\frac{8 \times 5}{15}=\frac{8}{3} \Omega$
