Answer 1

add page name before ^

RewriteRule ^category/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)$ category.php?category_slug=$1 [NC,L]

RewriteRule ^subcategory/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)$ subcategory.php?subcategory_slug=$1 [NC,L]

RewriteRule ^products/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)$ products.php?product_slug=$1 [L]

and write your url for category page as example category/mobiles/

UPDATE

The original URL: mysite.com/category.php?category_slug=mobiles The rewritten URL: mysite.com/mobiles

RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /category.php?category_slug=$1 [L]

The original URL: mysite.com/subcategory.php?category_slug=mobiles&subcategory_slug=samsung The rewritten URL: mysite.com/mobiles/samsung

RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /subcategory.php?category_slug=$1&subcategory_slug=$2 [L]

The original URL: mysite.com/products.php?category_slug=mobiles&subcategory_slug=samsung&product_slug=galaxy-note The rewritten URL: mysite.com/mobiles/samsung/galaxy-note

RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /products.php?category_slug=$1&subcategory_slug=$2&product_slug=$3 [L]
