(c)  1 − cos1, sin1  (d)  cos1,1

  
Ans: (b)
Sol: Period of f(x) is 2p, but f(x) is not defined for x  (p/2, 3p/2). Hence it suffices to consider x  [–
p/2, p/2]. Further since f(x) is even, we consider x  [0, p/2].

Now cos(sin x ) and sin (cos x ) are decreasing functions for x  [p,p/2].
