We have, sin x + cos x < (√2) < (π/2)  sin x < (π/2) − cos x  Since cos x is a decreasing function from  0 to (π/2), ∴ cos (sin x) > cos ((π/2) − cos x)  ⇒ cos (sin x) > sin (cos x)  Since all the angles given in the options  are lying between 0 to (π/2), ∴ all options  are correct.

$$\mathrm{We}\:\mathrm{have},\:\mathrm{sin}\:{x}\:+\:\mathrm{cos}\:{x}\:<\:\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}\:<\:\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{sin}\:{x}\:<\:\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}\:−\:\mathrm{cos}\:{x} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{Since}\:\mathrm{cos}\:{x}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{decreasing}\:\mathrm{function}\:\mathrm{from} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{0}\:\mathrm{to}\:\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}},\:\therefore\:\mathrm{cos}\:\left(\mathrm{sin}\:{x}\right)\:>\:\mathrm{cos}\:\left(\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}\:−\:\mathrm{cos}\:{x}\right) \\ $$ $$\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{cos}\:\left(\mathrm{sin}\:{x}\right)\:>\:\mathrm{sin}\:\left(\mathrm{cos}\:{x}\right) \\ $$ $$\mathrm{Since}\:\mathrm{all}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{angles}\:\mathrm{given}\:\mathrm{in}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{options} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{are}\:\mathrm{lying}\:\mathrm{between}\:\mathrm{0}\:\mathrm{to}\:\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}},\:\therefore\:\mathrm{all}\:\mathrm{options} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{are}\:\mathrm{correct}. \\ $$
