A microscope has an objective of focal length \(2~\text{cm},\) eyepiece of focal length \(4~\text{cm}\) and the tube length of \(40~\text{cm}.\) If the distance of distinct vision of eye is \(25~\text{cm},\) the magnification in the microscope is:
1. \(150\)
2. \(250\)
3. \(100\)
4. \(125\)

In a compound microscope, the magnification is \(95,\) the distance of the object from the objective lens is \(\left(\dfrac{1}{3.8}\right)~\text{cm}\) and the focal length of the objective is \(\dfrac{1}{4}~\text{cm}.\) What is the magnification of the eyepiece when the final image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision?
1. \(5\)
2. \(10\)
3. \(100\)
4. none of the above
