$A$ ray is incident at an angle of $53^{\circ}$ on a prism and emerges at an angle of $37^{\circ}$ as shown. If the angle of incidence is changed to $50^{\circ}$,which of the following is a possible value of the angle of emergence (in $^{\circ}$)?

$A$ deviation of $2^{\circ}$ is produced in the yellow ray when prisms of crown and flint glass are achromatically combined. Taking dispersive powers of crown and flint glass as $0.02$ and $0.03$ respectively and refractive indices for yellow light for these glasses as $1.5$ and $1.6$ respectively,the refracting angle for the crown glass prism will be $........\,^{\circ}$ (in degrees) (Round off to the nearest integer).
