Left part of the resistors are connected in parallel, hence R1=3am.
Similarly, for the right part of the resistors we can write, R2=2ma.
Therefore, equivalent resistance will be,
R=3am+2ma
Differentiating both sides w.r.t m to observe critical points, we get dmdR=3a+2m2a(−1)=0
⇒3a=2m2a ⇒m=23
Thus, x=3.
