Solution

Relation between angle of incidence and angle of emergence :
$i + e = A + δ$
where $i =$ is the angle of incidence
$e =$ is the angle of emergence
$A =$ is Prism Angle
$δ =$ is deviation angle
when angle of incidence is equals to angle of emergence $(i = e)$ then prism will be in the minimum deviation position.
