The objective lens of a compound microscope produces a magnification of $10$. In order to get an overall magnification of $100$ when the image is formed at $25 \, cm$ from the eye,the focal length of the eye lens should be:

  • A
    $4 \, cm$
  • B
    $10 \, cm$
  • C
    $\frac{25}{9} \, cm$
  • D
    $9 \, cm$
