if you haven;t got the hint i wanted to give
let me elaborate
 
(1).draw the graph of sinx from 0 to pi
(2). take 3 pts on it p,q,r as x coordinates (p+q+r=pi)
(3). where will be the centroid of the triangle formed by (p,sinp),(q,sinq),(r,sinq)
it will be on (p+q+r)/3 , (sinp+sinq+sinr)/3 inside the triangle
(4).now, there will be a point just above the centroid on the curve
so that it is (p+q+r)/3 , ( sin(p+q+r)/3 )
it will be this because the x coordinate will be same
 
now since centroid can lie only within the triangle,
y coordinate of the centroid will be always less than the pt in the step (4)
 
so we acn say,  (sinp+sinq+sinr)/3 < sin((p+q+r)/3)
since p+q+r=pi
(sinp+sinq+sinr)/3 < (root3)/2
sinp+sinq+sinr < (3/2)root3
 
correct your statement in the question
 
similarly you can do it for cosx
there will be only one change, i.e. cos(p+q+r)/3 = 1/2
 
this is the simplest and the shortest approach

you have to run faster and faster so as to remain where you are.. even if you are on the right track you will get run over if you just keep sitting there...
