The focal length of the objective and the eyepiece of a telescope are $100\, cm$ and $5\, cm$ respectively. If the final image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision,the magnification of the telescope is:

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 $\,cm$)

The magnifying power of an astronomical telescope is $8$. If the distance between the two lenses is $54 \, cm$,find the focal lengths of the eyepiece and the objective lens.
