Choose the correct answer. The input to an LTI system is sin 20t+cos 10t. The output
cannot be
(a) sin 20t.
(b) cos 20t + sin 10t.
(c) sin 30t + cos 10t.
(d) cos 20t.

To the best of my knowlegde the answer is sin 30t + cos 10t.
Am i correct?( as sin30t is present which is of different frequency)
because,
if you take a sinusoid, make many copies of it, scale them all by different gains,
delay them all by different time intervals, and add them up, you always get a
sinusoid at the same original frequency.
when a sinusoid at a particular frequency is input to an LTI system, a sinusoid
at that same frequency always appears at the output. Only the amplitude and
phase can be changed by the system.
 

ya....the frequency of the output sinusoid is same as the frequency in the input sinusoid in any LTI system...only scales and shifts input.....you have choosen the right answer...
