Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -2.2 A). The total magnification is calculated by multiplying the eyepiece magnification (10x) by the objective lens magnification (e.g., 40x), for a total magnification would be 400x.
Detailed explanation-2: -The magnification of 100X is achieved by combining the 10X ocular lens with the 10X objective lens. In common light compound/optical microscopes, the ocular lens magnification is always 10X.
Detailed explanation-3: -So a 40X objective lens multiplied by a 10X ocular lens would give us an overall magnification of 400X total magnification.
