    Answer: (b) 27°
    Explanation: cos theta = sin (90 –
    theta) for theta <= 90
    so using this
    cos(81 + theta) = sin (k/3- theta)
    sin ( 90 – 81 – theta) = sin ( k/3 –
    theta)
    sin( 9- theta) = sin (k/3 – theta)
    comparing now angles
    9- theta = k/3 – theta
    k/3 = 9 -theta + theta
    k/3 = 9
    k= 9*3
    k = 27
