The focal lengths of the objective and eyepiece of a compound microscope are \(2​​\text{cm}\) and \(6.25​​\text{cm}\) respectively. An object \(AB\) is placed at a distance of \(2.5​​\text{cm}\) from the objective which forms the image \(A'B'\) as shown in the figure. The maximum magnifying power in this case, will be:
          

1. \(10\) 2. \(20\)
3. \(5\) 4. \(25\)

If the focal length of the objective lens is increased, then magnifying power of:

1. microscope will increase but that of telescope decrease
2. microscope and telescope both will increase
3. microscope and telescope both will decrease
4. microscope will decrease but that of the telescope will increase
