  1. A 14
  2. B 18
  3. C 23
  4. D 26
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 14

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Magnifying power in normal adjustment, where \(f_{\mathcal{o}}\) and \(f_e\) are focal lengths of objective and eyepiece. \[ \begin{aligned} & \quad m=\frac{f_o}{f_e}=10 \\ & f_o=10 f_e \end{aligned} \] Given, tube length, \(f_o+f_e=110\)…
