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. \(25\)
