**Question:**

If you have chosen the objective lens with 10x and the ocular lens magnification is also 10x. Then the total magnification will be 100x.

- ☐ True
- ☐ False

**Explanation:**

This statement is about the calculation of total magnification in a compound microscope. The total magnification is found by multiplying the magnification of the objective lens by the magnification of the ocular lens (eyepiece). Here, if both are 10x, the total magnification would be:

\[ 
10x \times 10x = 100x 
\]

Therefore, selecting "True" would be correct.

INTRODUCTION :

Objective lens of a compound microscope : A microscope is an instrument which is used to magnify the image of any object that cant be seen by human naked eyes.

It implies two lenses or lens system,in a microscope. One is the objective lens which will enlarge the image of the object and second is ocular lens which magnifies the image formed by the first lens.
