In a compound microscope,the focal lengths of the objective and eye lens are $2.5 \, cm$ and $5 \, cm$ respectively. An object is placed at $3.75 \, cm$ in front of the objective. If the final image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision,then the distance between the two lenses (length of the microscope tube) is.......$cm$.

  • A
    $11.67$
  • B
    $12.67$
  • C
    $13$
  • D
    $12$
