Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Total magnification is:
A
the strength of the eyepiece lens
B
the strength of the eyepiece multiplied by the objective lense
C
using a magnifying glass
D
what you see under the objective lens
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The total magnification is the product of the magnifications of two lens systems. Hence, the microscope which has a 10X objective lens and 10X ocular lens, it would magnify the object by 10 × 10 = 100 times.

Detailed explanation-2: -The total magnification that a certain combination of lenses provides is determined by multiplying the magnifications of the eyepiece and the objective lens being used. For example, if both the eyepiece and the objective lens magnify an object ten times, the object would appear one hundred times larger.

Detailed explanation-3: -Objective Lenses: Usually you will find 3 or 4 objective lenses on a microscope. They almost always consist of 4x, 10x, 40x and 100x powers. When coupled with a 10x (most common) eyepiece lens, total magnification is 40x (4x times 10x), 100x, 400x and 1000x.
