Detailed Solution

When  m1=m2 and  q1=q2, by symmetry, both angles will be equal.  Option (C) is correct.

Now, if m1 is made slightly greater than m2, then m1 will descend and we expect θ1 to become less than θ2. Option (A) is correct.  Option (D) is wrong.

If masses are equal, then regardless of charges, both angles are equal. Option (B) is correct.
