THETA = b 

angle of incidence = b = reflection angle. 
Look at the angles in the triangle formed by the reflected ray and the two mirrors. 

angle of incidence on the 2nd mirror = 90 - [180- 70 - (90-b) ] = 70 - b 
angle between the reflected ray and the mirror (2nd) = b+20. 

as it is parallel to the 1st mirror :   b+20 = 70

b=50


chakraborty20: Read qus. Carefully  qus. was incident with mirror not with with normal if i will solved the qus. with normal incident then ans was 50° but according to qus. incident with plane i. e 40°
is my logic true?
