Ans. $\frac{π}{3}$

Explanation:

$\sin^{- 1} x + \sin^{- 1} y = \frac{2 π}{3}$

$\Rightarrow$ $(\frac{π}{2} - \cos^{- 1} x) + (\frac{π}{2} - \cos^{- 1} y) = \frac{2 π}{3}$ $[∵ \sin^{- 1} x + \cos^{- 1} x = \frac{π}{2}]$

$\Rightarrow$ $\cos^{- 1} x + \cos^{- 1} y = π - \frac{2 π}{3} = \frac{π}{3}$
