Answer 1

You can use toggleClass method.

  $(document).ready(function($) {
                $('.mobile-categories').find('.mcategory-toggle').click(function(){

            var self = $(this);

            //Expand or collapse this panel
            self.next().slideToggle('fast');

            //Remove active class for all element, except the current selected item
            $('.mcategory-toggle').not(self).removeClass('active');

            //Toggle active class for the current element
            self.toggleClass('active');

                  //Hide the other panels
            $(".msub-categories").not(self.next()).slideUp('fast');

                });
      });
