Explanation / Answer

part a )

capacitor are in series combination

in series 1/Ceq = 1/C1+1/C2+1/C3

Ceq = C/2

part b )

right most capacitor and upper branch right side capacitor in parallel

C' = C/2  

middle one in parallel with C"= C'+C = 3C/2

C" in series with C

Ceq = 3C/5

part c )

first we find a unit cell after that repetation is starting

After removing that unit which is equal to Ceq and total capacitance of circuit is also Ceq

now Ceq in parallel with C and their equivalent in series with C  

Ceq = C*(C+Ceq)/[C+(C+Ceq)]

Ceq = C^2 + Ceq / [ 2C + Ceq]

Ceq^2 + C*Ceq - C^2 = 0

by solving this quadratic equation

Ceq = C*(sqrt(5)-1)/2
