Answer:

Option (2)

Explanation:

Given expression is
(2)/((3x-1)) ÷
(6)/(6x-1)

We further simplify this expression,


(2)/((3x-1)) ÷
(6)/(6x-1)

=
(2)/((3x-1))* (6x-1)/(6)

=
(6x-1)/(3(3x-1))

=
(6x-1)/((9x-3))

Therefore,
(6x-1)/((9x-3)) will be the quotient of the given expression.


x\\eq (1)/(3) and
x\\eq (1)/(6) for which the given expression is not defined.

Option (2) will be the answer.
