Let $$x \in (0, 1)$$. The set of all $$x$$ such that $$\sin^{-1}x > \cos^{-1}x$$, is the interval:
We are given that $$ x \in (0, 1) $$ and need to find the set of all $$ x $$ such that $$ \sin^{-1} x > \cos^{-1} x $$.
Recall the identity: for any $$ x \in [-1, 1] $$, $$ \sin^{-1} x + \cos^{-1} x = \frac{\pi}{2} $$. Therefore, we can express $$ \cos^{-1} x $$ as $$ \cos^{-1} x = \frac{\pi}{2} - \sin^{-1} x $$.
Substitute this into the inequality:
$$ \sin^{-1} x > \cos^{-1} x $$
$$ \sin^{-1} x > \frac{\pi}{2} - \sin^{-1} x $$
Add $$ \sin^{-1} x $$ to both sides:
$$ \sin^{-1} x + \sin^{-1} x > \frac{\pi}{2} $$
$$ 2 \sin^{-1} x > \frac{\pi}{2} $$
Divide both sides by 2:
$$ \sin^{-1} x > \frac{\pi}{4} $$
Since $$ x \in (0, 1) $$, $$ \sin^{-1} x $$ lies in $$ (0, \frac{\pi}{2}) $$, where the sine function is strictly increasing. Therefore, taking sine on both sides preserves the inequality:
$$ \sin(\sin^{-1} x) > \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) $$
$$ x > \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) $$
$$ x > \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} $$
Also, since $$ x \in (0, 1) $$, we have $$ x < 1 $$. Thus, $$ x $$ must satisfy $$ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} < x < 1 $$, which is the interval $$ \left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, 1 \right) $$.
Now, verify the boundaries:
Comparing with the options:
Hence, the correct answer is Option B.
