An object is clearly seen through an astronomical telescope of length $50 \mathrm{~cm}$. The focal lengths of its objective and eyepiece respectively, can be
  1. $5 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $45 \mathrm{~cm}$
  2. $45 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $-5 \mathrm{~cm}$
  3. $-45 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $-5 \mathrm{~cm}$
  4. $45 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $5 \mathrm{~cm}$

Solution

$\ell=f_{0}+f_{e} ; \quad f_{0}$ and $f_{0}$ are positive. Magnifying power $=\frac{f_{0}}{f_{e}}>1$
