The focal lengths of the objective and eyepiece of a compound microscope are \(2​​\text{cm}\) and \(6.25​​\text{cm}\) respectively. An object \(AB\) is placed at a distance of \(2.5​​\text{cm}\) from the objective which forms the image \(A'B'\) as shown in the figure. The maximum magnifying power in this case, will be:
          

1. \(10\) 2. \(20\)
3. \(5\) 4. \(25\)

The magnification of a compound microscope for the final image at the least distance of distinct vision is \(90\). The magnification of the objective lens is \(15\). The value of the focal length of the eyepiece will be: 
1. \(5\) cm
2. \(6\) cm
3. \(\dfrac{1}{6}\) cm
4. \(12\) cm
