    It's based on simple formula(that you might have seen in class 12th magnetism chapter and in Fundamental Geophysics by Lowrie). relation between latitude(let ß) and inclination(let I) then, tan(I) = 2 tanß As per question , I= 27° So, we have for latitude ß= arctan(tan(27°)/2) = arctan(0.2547) = 14.28° Or latitude is equal to = 14.2°(upto one decimal place)....
