In a compound microscope,the magnified virtual image is formed at a distance of $25 \, cm$ from the eye-piece. The focal length of its objective lens is $1 \, cm$. If the magnification is $100$ and the tube length of the microscope is $20 \, cm$,then the focal length of the eye-piece lens (in $cm$) is

  • A
    $4.5$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $3.5$
  • D
    $4.8$

$A$ compound microscope is designed with two symmetric biconvex lenses. The objective lens is cut vertically, creating two identical plano-convex lenses. One of them is used in place of the original objective lens. To retain the same magnification while keeping the object distance unchanged, the tube length has to be
