$A$ simple microscope is a combination of two lenses in contact. Their powers are $+20$ $D$ and $-4$ $D$. The distance of distinct vision is $25$ cm. When seen through the microscope, the size of an object $3$ mm high is (in $cm$)

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: For a simple microscope,the angular size of the object equals the angular size of the image.
Reason $R$: Magnification is achieved as the small object can be kept much closer to the eye than $25\, cm$ and hence it subtends a large angle.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

What is the magnifying power of a simple microscope of focal length $5 \ cm$,if the image is formed at the distance of distinct vision?

$A$ microscope is an optical instrument which:

The least distance of distinct vision is $25 \ cm$. Find the magnifying power of a simple microscope of focal length $5 \ cm$ if the final image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision.
