We are to select the correct expressions from the given options that are equivalent to the above expression.

We have the following forms of the give expressipn:

`E\\\\=48a^3-75a\\\\=3a(16a^2-25)\\\\=3a\left((4a)^2-5^2\right)\\\\=3(4a+5)(4a-5)\\\\=-3a(5+4a)(5-4a)\\\\=-3a(25-16a^2).`

Thus, (2), (4), (5) and (6) are the correct options.
