a. 

\(\text{Draw a horizontal line on graph from}\ \ \cos\,\theta=0.3:\)
 

\(\theta \approx 75^{\circ}, 285^{\circ}\)
 

b.   \(\cos\,300^{\circ}\ \text{is in the 4th quadrant.}\)

\(\text{Reference angle:}\ \theta=360-300=60^{\circ}\)

\(\Rightarrow \ \cos\,300^{\circ} = \cos\,60^{\circ} \)

\(\sin\,50^{\circ} = \cos(90-50)^{\circ} = \cos\,40^{\circ}\)
 

\(\text{Graphically, it can be seen that}\ \ \cos 60^{\circ} \lt \cos\,40^{\circ}\)

\(\Rightarrow\ \cos 300^{\circ} \lt \sin\,50^{\circ}\)

\(\therefore \ \text{Statement is not correct.}\)
