Ans:
Hello Student,
Please find answer to your question below

If the f(x) is decreasing, then
f'(x) < 0
log_{1/3}(log_{3}(sinx+a)) < 0
log_{1/3}(log_{3}(sinx+a)) < log_{1/3}1
log_{3}(sinx+a) > 1
log_{3}(sinx+a) > log_{3}3
sinx+a > 3
a > 3 - sinx............(1)
Also for the domain of logarithm function,
sinx + a > 0
a > -sinx…......(2)
Combining (1) and (2) we have
a > 3-sinx
Since x belong to R,
a > 2

but i think a > 4 as a =3 doesnt satisfy the equation.
