(4x)/(5)

Explanation:

(20x^2y)/(25xy)

(4x^2y)/(5xy)-----------Cancel out by 5.

(4xy)/(5y)----------------Cancel out x

(4x)/(5)-------------------Cancel out y

We get simplified form,

(4x)/(5)

Here, excluded values are:
x!in0 & y !in0

Because, the denominator becomes zero when x or y =0.
And 0 in the denominator gives oo. While, oo is not-defined number.
