Two luminous point sources separated by a certain distance are at $10 \,km$ from an observer. If the aperture of his eye is $2.5 \times 10^{-3} \,m$ and the wavelength of light used is $500 \,nm$, the distance of separation between the point sources just seen to be resolved is (in $\,m$)

There are two white dots on a black paper separated by a distance of $1 \, mm$. They are observed by the naked eye. If the diameter of the eye lens is $3 \, mm$,what is the maximum distance between the dots and the eye so that they can be seen as separate (in $, m$)? The wavelength of light is $500 \, nm$.
