Per NCERT, if both the eyepiece and objective lens of a light microscope have magnifying power 10X, what is the TOTAL magnification?
A1000X
B20X (the sum)
C100X (the product of the two magnifications)
D10X (just one of them)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. 100X (the product of the two magnifications)
Per NCERT §2.1, total magnification = eyepiece × objective = 10 × 10 = 100X. The other options misstate the relationship.
