oblique collision

A particle of mass m collides oblically with another particle of mass 2m initially at rest. Both the particles have same diameter at the instant of collision velocity of 1st particle is making an angle of pie/3 with the line joining the centres of the particles. If velocity of 1st particle before collision is 2metre/sec. Find its velocity after collision. The collision is perfectly elastic.
