$A$ particle of mass $m_1$ moving along the $X$-axis collides with a stationary particle of mass $m_2$ and deviates by an angle $30^{\circ}$ to the $X$-axis as shown in the figure. If the percentage change in kinetic energy of the combined system of these two particles reduces by $50 \%$,then the ratio of the masses $\frac{m_2}{m_1}$ is
