Four identical metal butterflies are hanging from a light string of length 5l at equally placed points as shown. The ends of the string are attached to horizontal fixed support. The middle section of the string is horizontal . The relation between the angle `theta_1` and `theta_2` is given by

A

`sintheta_1=2sintheta_2`

B

`2costheta_1=sintheta_2`

C

`tantheta_1=2tantheta_2`

D

`theta_2lttheta_1` and no other conclusion can be derived.
