I followed this method:
Let AB be connected to a 1 V battery.
then I distributed charge on all the capacitors, and wrote the KVL for (1) upper circuit, (2)lower circuit,
(3) and for 1,5,6 uF capacitors.
Now solving them I got the total charge to be 264/123=88/41=2.14 uC
which is the equivalent capacitance.
Are you sure about the answer?
- Niraj kumar Jha I think it would be much easier if we apply delta-star transformation.

- Aditya Agarwal I used star-delta the first time(149/79). I think the formula for resistance and capacitance is different. If you have solved using star-delta, can you please post the solution?

Here is that formula you people were looking for.
If you want to use the Y-Delta transformation for capacitors then just replace R by 1/C and you will get the corresponding result.
