The formula is theta (phase angle) = Tan ^-1 (WL/R)

Whether it is XL/r or wL/r....if it is w(omega) we need frequency to calculate.

If frequency is not given just take it as 50 Hz.

And for that value only the answer is 80.5895 which approximately equal to 81.

XL= 6 Kohm + inductive reactance of 100mh (2*3. 14*50*100*10^-3).

Phase angle = tan^-1(XL/R).

XL is already given (6). R = (1) (both are in K ohms).

tan^-1(6/1) = 80.537.

tan^-1 = Inverse of tan.

XL = Inductive reactance.

6 K ohm is the inductive reactance of the 100 mH inductor - as stated in the question.

Yes, agree with you @Alan H.
