$A$ compound microscope has a magnifying power of $30$. The focal length of its eyepiece is $5 \ cm$. Assuming the final image is at the least distance of distinct vision $(25 \ cm)$,the magnification produced by the objective is:

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

$A$ card sheet divided into squares each of size $1\,mm^2$ is being viewed at a distance of $9\,cm$ through a magnifying glass (a converging lens of focal length $9\,cm$) held close to the eye. What is the angular magnification (magnifying power) of the lens?

$A$ compound microscope is designed with two symmetric biconvex lenses. The objective lens is cut vertically, creating two identical plano-convex lenses. One of them is used in place of the original objective lens. To retain the same magnification while keeping the object distance unchanged, the tube length has to be

To obtain a magnified image at the distance of distinct vision $(D)$ using a simple microscope,the object should be placed:
