Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
The focal length of the objective in a telescope is larger than that of eyepiece.The objective is a convex lens of large focal length and large aperture. It usually made of two convex lenses in contact with each other to reduce the chromatic and spherical aberrations.The eye piece is also a convex lens .Its focal length is smaller than that of objective. It is also a combination of two lenses.
Magnifying power of telescope increases when the aperture of the objective is large.
