Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
To simplify the given expression, we can use the rules of exponents which state that when dividing exponential expressions with the same base, we can subtract their exponents.
Thus, we get:
x4ny3xn−1xnyn−4=x4n−ny3xn−1−(n−4)=x3ny2n+3\frac{x^{4n}y^{3xn-1}}{x^n y^{n-4}}= x^{4n-n} y^{3xn-1-(n-4)}=x^{3n} y^{2n+3}xnyn4x4ny3xn1=x4nny3xn1(n4)=x3ny2n+3
Hence, the answer is choice letter C.
