When each element of circuit is multiplied by a factor $k$ then equivalent resistance also become $k$ times.
Let the equivalent resistance between $A$ and $B$ be $X$
So, equivalent circuit becomes
For $k=\frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{X}=\frac{\left(\mathrm{R}_{1}-\mathrm{R}_{2}\right)+\sqrt{\mathrm{R}_{1}^{2}+\mathrm{R}_{2}^{2}+6 \mathrm{R}_{1} \mathrm{R}_{2}}}{2}$
