In normal adjustment,for a refracting telescope,the distance between the objective and the eyepiece is $30\,cm$. The focal length of the objective,when the angular magnification of the telescope is $2$,will be $.....\,cm$.

The magnifying power of a telescope is $9.$ When it is adjusted for parallel rays,the distance between the objective and eyepiece is $20\; cm.$ The focal lengths of the lenses are:

An astronomical telescope has an eyepiece of focal length $5 \ cm$. The angular magnification in normal adjustment is $10$. When the final image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision $(25 \ cm)$ from the eyepiece,then the angular magnification will be:

Focal length of objective and eye piece of telescope are $200 \; cm$ and $4 \; cm$ respectively. What is the length of telescope for normal adjustment (in $; cm$)?
