Answer

Let,

log27 (181)=x181=27x(134)=(33)x34=33x3x=4x=43.\Rightarrow \text{log}_{27} \space \Big(\dfrac{1}{81}\Big) = x \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{81} = 27^x \\[1em] \Rightarrow \Big(\dfrac{1}{3^4}\Big) = (3^3)^x \\[1em] \Rightarrow 3^{-4} = 3^{3x} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 3x = -4 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = -\dfrac{4}{3}.

Hence, required value = 43-\dfrac{4}{3}.
