The tones produced by a typical orchestra are complex sound waves, and most have fundamental frequencies less than 5000 Hz. However, a high-quality stereo system must be able to reproduce frequencies up to 20 O00 Hz accurately. Explain why.

In this case each tone is a mix of fundamental and higher harmonic frequencies. The higher harmonics are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency.
That's why a high-quality stereo system must reproduce all frequencies up to 20000 Hz, so on that way at least the fourth harmonic of all tones will be included.
