In which type of telescope,an extra pair of inverting lens is available?

The objective and eyepiece of an astronomical telescope are double convex lenses with refractive index $1.5$. When the telescope is adjusted to infinity, the separation between the two lenses is $16 \,cm$. If the space between the lenses is now filled with water and the telescope is again adjusted for infinity, then the present separation between the lenses is: (in $\,cm$)

The diameter of the moon is $3.5 \times 10^3 \text{ km}$ and its distance from the earth is $3.8 \times 10^5 \text{ km}$. If it is seen through a telescope whose focal lengths for the objective and eye lens are $4 \text{ m}$ and $10 \text{ cm}$ respectively,then the angle subtended by the moon on the eye will be approximately.......$^o$

The relative difference between the focal lengths of the objective and the eye lens in a microscope and a telescope is given as:

The magnifying power of an astronomical telescope is $8$. If the distance between the two lenses is $54 \, cm$,find the focal lengths of the eyepiece and the objective lens.
