In an astronomical telescope in normal adjustment a straight black line of length \(L\) is drawn on inside part of the objective lens. The eye-piece forms a real image of this line. The length of this image is \(l.\) The magnification of the telescope is:
1. \(\dfrac{L}{l}+1\)

2. \(\dfrac{L}{l}-1\)

3. \(\dfrac{L+1}{L-1}\)

4. \(\dfrac{L}{l}\)
