I have tried 2 different transformations for this question (both wue to delta and T to pi) but still i get stuck at the very end and i have to go further after this point
What is it you are trying to find?

Please don't make us guess.

I see that you've shown your work, which is much appreciated. It is very hard (for me) to read because the writing is pretty iffy in spots. It would also help us (and whomever grades it) if you put some notes indicating what you are doing to get from one diagram to the other, instead of having to look at the two and back out what we think you did. Also, show your actual calculations.

What happened to your 1 kΩ resistor in your top right diagram?

If you have a voltage source across a resistor, can that resistor have any influence on any of the voltages or currents elsewhere in the circuit other than on the current through that current source?

What techniques have you been taught so far? Have you learned mesh current and/or node voltage analysis? How about superposition?

How is T to pi any different than wye to delta?

Thanks for your reply I’m trying to find the equivalent resistance using series and parallel simplifications. I’m looking for the best way to answer this question and I just started studying mesh and nodal analysis but I’m not sure how to use those techniques to find the equivalent resistance!? And that’s how I tried to simplify the circuit IMG_1047.jpeg

You don't need to make duplicate posts to answer multiple responses -- we all see every post.

Where are you trying the find the equivalent resistance between?

What is that actual problem statement?
