In a compound microscope,the focal length of the objective lens is $1.2 \, cm$ and the focal length of the eyepiece is $3.0 \, cm$. When the object is kept at $1.25 \, cm$ in front of the objective,the final image is formed at infinity. The magnifying power of the compound microscope is:

  • A
    $200$
  • B
    $100$
  • C
    $400$
  • D
    $150$
