Capcitance values of each capacitor is not given. It is assumed all capacitors have equal capacitance.
 
The given network of capacitors is redrawn in step-1. Markings A, B, D, E, F , G , H and I are done .
 
It is required to find the effective capacitance between points A and B.
 
In Step-1, we see that, in the loop D-E-I-F, two capacitors are in series and this series combination is parallel to another capacitor.
 
Capacitance C' of series combination of two capacitors is given by,   C' = ( C×C)/ (C+C) = C/2.
If this capacitance C' is parallel to another capacitance C, then effective capacitance is [ C/2 + C ] = (3/2)C
 
Hence all the capcitors in the loop D-E-I-F are replaced with a single capacitor of capacitance (3/2)C in step-2
 
Now, we see that in step-2, in loop A-D-F-G , two capacitors of capacitance C and (3/2)C are in series
and this series combination is parallel to another capacitance C.
 
Capacitance C'' of series combination of (3/2)C and C is  given by,   C'' = [ (3/2)C × C ] / [ (3/2)C + C ] = (3/5) C
If this capacitance C'' is parallel to another capacitance C, then effective capacitance is [ (3/5)C + C ] = (8/5)C
 
Hence all the capcitors in the loop A-D-F-G are replaced with a single capacitor of capacitance (8/5)C in step-3
 
In step-3, we end up with only two capacitors in series. Hence effective capacitance is [ (8/5)C × C ] / [ (8/5)C + C ] = (8/13) C
 
Hence effective capacitance of given network of capacitors is  (8/13)C
