One way to solve the problem is to realize that while sin ( cos x ) may attain negative values for some x , cos ( sin x ) will always be a positive number. Hence, the inference.
P.S. Evidently this is a pretty anomalous solution, but given the limited scope of options it makes solving pretty fast.
sin x + cos x ≤ 2
And 2 < 2 π
So
sin x + cos x ≤ 2 < 2 π
⟹ sin x < 2 π − cos x
⟹ sin ( cos x ) < cos ( sin x )
If x = 0 then, = sin (cos 0) = sin(1) = 0.84
=cos(sin 0) = cos(0) = 1
0.84 < 1 Ans. cos (sin x)
This is valid if sinx or cosx is taken in degrees and not radians.
It is valid even in radians.
f(x)=sin(cos x) and g(x)=cos(sin x) so the images of f will variate between sin[0,1] which is [sin(0),sin(1)] = [0, 0.017] And the images of g will variate between cos[0,1] which is [0.999 ,1] therefore g(x)>f(x)
Copy-pasta. -_-
First, f between [ sin − 1 , sin 1 ] since cos attains the value − 1 as well; similar with g . Second sin 1 ≈ 0 . 8 4 1 4 , cos 1 ≈ 0 . 5 4 0 3 , so the solution is faulty (since sin 1 > cos 1 and thus the two images intersect).

We have cos ( sin x ) > sin ( cos x ) for all x , based on the following five observations.
