\theta_1+\theta_2=\theta~~~~~~~~~~...(i)

We know that -

\begin{aligned} \frac{\tau}{\theta} & =\frac{\pi \eta r^4}{2 l} \\ \therefore \quad \frac{\theta_1}{\theta_2} & =\frac{l_1}{l_2} \times \frac{r_2^4}{r_1^4}=\frac{l / 2 \times r^4}{l \times(r / 2)^4} \\ \frac{\theta_1}{\theta_2} & =8 ~~~~~~~~~~...(ii)\end{aligned}

After solving above equations, we get-
\begin{aligned} & \theta_1+\theta_2=\theta \\ & \theta_1-8 \theta_2=0 \\ &\text{-----------------}\\ & 9 \theta_2=\theta \\ &\Rightarrow \theta_2=\frac{\theta}{9} \end{aligned}
Put this value in equation (i).
\begin{aligned} \theta_1+\left(\frac{\theta}{9}\right)&=\theta \\ \theta_1&=\frac{8 \theta}{9} \end{aligned}
