For large magnifying power of a telescope, which of the following conditions is required?

For a distant object,the angular magnification of an astronomical telescope is $5$. The distance between the objective and the eyepiece is $36 \, cm$,and the final image is formed at infinity. What are the focal lengths of the objective $(f_o)$ and the eyepiece $(f_e)$?

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 magnifying power of a telescope can be increased by

Four convergent lenses have focal lengths $100 \, cm, 10 \, cm, 4 \, cm$ and $0.3 \, cm$. For a telescope with maximum possible magnification,we choose the lenses of focal length
