Solution

The correct option is B 50
Given,
f0=100 cm and fe=2 cm

In case of normal adjustment, the angular magnification is given by,

m=f0fe=1002=50

|m|=50

Hence, (B) is the correct answer.

Key Concept:
1. In case of normal adjustment, final image obtained is at infinity.
2. Negative sign in the angular magnification represent that the final image is inverted.
