Dear student,

Since the resultant has only vertical component, the horizontal compoenents of both vectors must cancel each other. Hence $A=B cos\theta$
Also from relation $R^2=A^2+B^2-2ABcos\theta$ and $R=\dfrac{B}{\sqrt{2}}$ ,

$\dfrac{B^2}{2}=A^2+B^2-2ABcos\theta$
$\implies A^2+\dfrac{B^2}{2}=2ABcos\theta$
$\implies B^2cos^2\theta+\dfrac{B^2}{2}=2B^2cos^2\theta$
$\implies cos\theta=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\implies \theta=45^{\circ}$
