Two prisms of identical geometrical shape are combined

Question:

Two prisms of identical geometrical shape are combined with their refracting angles oppositely directed. The materials of the prisms have refractive indices $1.52$ and $1.62$ for violet light. A violet ray is deviated by $1.0^{\circ}$ when passes symmetrically through this combination. What is the angle of the prisms?
