A sinusoid x(t) of unknown frequency is sampled by an impulse train of period 20 ms. The resulting sample train is next applied to an ideal lowpass filter with a cut-off at 25 Hz. The filter output is seen to be a sinusoid of frequency 20 Hz. This means that x(t) has a frequency of

(a) 10 Hz           (b) 60 Hz           (c) 30 Hz           (d) 90 Hz

We have f_{\mathrm{s}}=50 Hz. Let the frequency of signal at x(t) be f_{\mathrm{x}}. Then

Given that LPF = 25 Hz, output = 20 Hz.
Therefore, the lower component, that is (f_{s}-f_{x}) passes through the filter 50\,-\,f_{x}=20\Rightarrow f_{x}=30\,\mathrm{Hz}
