$A$ convex lens of focal length $12.5 \ cm$ is used as a simple microscope. When the image is formed at infinity,the magnification is . . . . . . . (Near point for normal vision is $25 \ cm$)

The near vision of an average person is $25 \, cm$. To view an object with an angular magnification of $10$,what should be the power of the microscope?

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.......$cm$.
