In the folllowing range we can,say that sinx<x......(1) ..so,cos(sinx)>cosx.....(2) Put...x=cosx in equation 1 So,cosx>sin(cosx)......(3) Therefore, Cos(sinx)>cosx>sin(cosx).........
0 < x < 2 π ⟹ 2 π > 1 > sin x > 0 , 2 π > 1 > cos x > 0
For these values of sin x and cos x , sin ( cos x ) < cos x
sin x < x ⟹ cos ( sin x ) > cos x .
Therefore sin ( cos x ) < cos x < cos ( sin x )

For 0 < x < 2 π , cos x decreases as x increases. Since sin x = x − 3 ! x 3 + 5 ! x 5 − ⋯ , ⟹ sin x < x . Therefore cos ( sin x ) > cos x .
Now consider f ( x ) = cos x and g ( x ) = sin ( cos x ) . We note that f ( x ) = g ( x ) , when x = 2 π that is out the range of 0 < x < 2 π , and f ′ ( x ) = − sin x < 0 and g ′ ( x ) = − sin x cos ( cos x ) < 0 for 0 < x < 2 π . They are both monotonically decreasing functions. Since f ( 0 ) = 1 and g ( 0 ) = sin 1 < f ( 0 ) , and f ( x ) and g ( x ) do not intersect between 0 < x < 2 π , f ( x ) > g ( x ) between the interval.
Therefore we have C : sin ( cos x ) < cos x < cos ( sin x ) .
