Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (D) 37.5

Explanation

The graph places P 12.5 rad/s above 150, so its original frequency is 162.5 rad/s. Subtract two sampling-frequency intervals to obtain −37.5 rad/s. For a real signal, the corresponding positive-frequency location is 37.5 rad/s, D, within the baseband ±50 rad/s.
