Answer: The required answer is
(1)/(3a),~a\\eq 3.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the following product :


P=(a-3)/(15a)*(5)/(a-3)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

Since (a - 3) is present in both numerator and denominator, so we can divide them if


a-3\\eq 0\\\\\Rightarrow a\\eq 3.

Then, we get from (i) that


P\\\\\\=((a-3))/(15a)*(5)/((a-3))\\\\\\=(5)/(15a)\\\\\\=(1)/(3a).

Thus, the required answer is
(1)/(3a),~a\\eq 3
