Detailed Solution

y=cosx       or      sinxdydx=−sinx   or   cosx Both are -ve in π2,π, Hence S is correct. Again, if a differentiable function decreases, then its derivativef'(x)=−ve. It is not necessary that its derivative f′′(x) may be +ve and hence it may be increasing or decreasing.  Hence R is not correct.Hence (4) is the correct answer
