If the output is taken across the inductor, high frequencies are passed and low frequencies are attenuated (rejected). Thus, the circuit behaves as a high-pass filter. If, though, the output is taken across the resistor, high frequencies are rejected and low frequencies are passed. In this configuration, the circuit behaves as a low-pass filter. Compare this with the behaviour of the resistor output in an RC circuit, where the reverse is the case.

Look at the construction of a pi filter which has a inductor series connected and act as a low pass filter. So here the answer it low pass filter.

I always have to figure these out from basics. If you can remember that the impedance of an inductor is given by Z = j*2π*f*L, then it's reasonably easy to figure out if you then treat the system like a voltage divider.

If the output is taken over the inductor then as frequency increases the output taken across it will also increase.

The circuit act as a low pass filter because of inductor serially connected.

Inductor Connected in series just like a low pass filter. Because for high-frequency XL is very large.

High pass filter.

Simply remind R-C (output) ----LPF.
L-R (OUTPUT) ---LPF and vice versa.
