Solution:

(a) Given that \[ y_{1}=4^{3x-2}\Rightarrow y_{1}=\frac{4^{3x}}{4^{2}}\Rightarrow y_{1}=\frac{2^{6x}}{16}\].

(b) Given that \[ y_{2}=2(2^{3x-2})\Rightarrow y_{2}=2\times \frac{2^{3x}}{2^{2}}\Rightarrow y_{2}=\frac{2^{3x}}{2}\].

(c) Given that \[ y_{3}=(2^{3x-1})\Rightarrow y_{3}=2\times \frac{2^{3x}}{2^{1}}\Rightarrow y_{2}=\frac{2^{3x}}{2}\].

Hence, we get that the functions given in the options (b) and (c) are identical.
