Detailed Solution

Given block of mass 1 kg at rest on the smooth inclined plane
Wedge has an acceleration of 5 m/s2 so a pseudo-force of 5 N will act on block
And its direction will be Negative to the direction of a
So the block has these three forces acting on it
mg=10 N (downward), Normal (at an angle \theta from vertical) and 5 N downward
The normal force will be the resultant of mg and pseudo-force
=102+52
=55
We have tanθ=ma/mg
=5 / 10 =1 / 2
