The correct answer is: 100 Hz,252 A

Standard equation of the current variation in an AC supply can be written as,

I=I0sinωt, where I0=peak current and ω=angular frequency.

Comparing it with the given expression of current, we get

I0=50 A.

Therefore, RMS current

IRMS=I02=252 A

Similarly, ω=200π

2πf=200πf=100 Hz
