In an astronomical telescope in normal adjustment,a straight black line of length $L$ is drawn on the inside part of the objective lens. The eyepiece forms a real image of this line. The length of this image is $I$. The magnification of the telescope is:

  • A
    $L/I$
  • B
    $L/I + 1$
  • C
    $L/I - 1$
  • D
    $(L+I)/(L-I)$
