$A$ compound microscope consists of an objective lens of focal length $2 \ cm$ and an eyepiece of focal length $6.25 \ cm$ separated by a distance of $15 \ cm$. How far from the objective lens should an object be placed in order to obtain the final image at the least distance of distinct vision (in $cm$)? (Take $D = 25 \ cm$).

  • A
    $2.5$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $3$
  • D
    $3.3$
