On which of the following does the magnifying power of a telescope depend?

The objective and eyepiece of an astronomical telescope are double convex lenses with refractive index $1.5$. When the telescope is adjusted to infinity, the separation between the two lenses is $16 \,cm$. If the space between the lenses is now filled with water and the telescope is again adjusted for infinity, then the present separation between the lenses is: (in $\,cm$)

In a simple telescope,the focal length of the objective lens is $f_o = 60 \ cm$ and the focal length of the eyepiece is $f_e = 5 \ cm$. If the rays coming from the object make an angle of $2^\circ$ at the objective,then the angular magnification (angular size of the image) is ........... $^\circ$.
