Solution

The correct option is C 25
f0=100 cm
fe=2 cm

Angular magnification of telescope

m=θiθo=fofe where θo is the angle subtended by the object at the eye and θi is the angle subtended by the final image at the eye.

1002=θi0.50
θi=250 where the minus sign indicates the direction in which we measure the angle.
