In a compound microscope,the magnified virtual image is formed at a distance of $25 \, cm$ from the eye-piece. The focal length of its objective lens is $1 \, cm$. If the magnification is $100$ and the tube length of the microscope is $20 \, cm$,then the focal length of the eye-piece lens (in $cm$) is

  • A
    $4.5$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $3.5$
  • D
    $4.8$
