Detailed Solution

When two equal masses undergo a glancing elastic collision with one of them at rest, then after the collision, they will move at right angles to each other.  So according to question, the first ball on hitting the second ball, makes an angle of 900   with the other one.  
so, θ1=90θ2=9037=53
