Two metallic spheres of mass M are suspended by two strings each of length L. The distance between the upper ends of the strings is L. The angle which the strings will make with the vertical due to mutual attraction sphere is (if each mass horizontally moved by a distance of L/4 due to mutual attraction)

They have twisted. They haven`t given radius of spheres. Find out the radius using Newton law of gravitation.

How to find radius ?Give proper explaination.
