As Lens formula is given as

\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}

\begin{aligned} &\text { For first lens }\\ &\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\mathrm{v}_{1}}-\frac{1}{-\mathrm{x}}=\frac{1}{1} \Rightarrow \mathrm{v}_{1}=\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{x}-1}\\ &\text { also magnification }\left|\mathrm{m}_{1}\right|=\left|\frac{\mathrm{v}_{1}}{\mathrm{u}_{1}}\right|=\frac{1}{\mathrm{x}-1} \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &\text { for } 2^{\text {nd }} \text { lens this is acting as object }\\ &\text { so } \mathrm{u}_{2}=-\left(20-\mathrm{v}_{1}\right)=-\left(20-\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{x}-1}\right)\\ &\text { and } v_{2}=-25 \mathrm{~cm}\\ &\text { angular magnification =}\left|\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{2}}\right|=\left|\frac{\mathrm{D}}{\mathrm{u}_{2}}\right|=\frac{25}{\left|\mathrm{u}_{2}\right|} \end{aligned}

\begin{array}{l} \text { Total magnification } \mathrm{m}=\mathrm{m}_{1} \mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{2}}=100 \\ \\ \Rightarrow \left(\frac{1}{\mathrm{x}-1}\right)\left(\frac{25}{20-\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{x}-1}}\right)=100 \\ \\ \frac{25}{20(\mathrm{x}-1)-\mathrm{x}}=100 \Rightarrow 1=80(\mathrm{x}-1)-4 \mathrm{x} \\ \\ \Rightarrow 76 \mathrm{x}=81 \Rightarrow \mathrm{x}=\frac{81}{76} \end{array}

\Rightarrow \mathrm{u}_{2}=-\left(20-\frac{81 / 76}{81 / 76-1}\right)=\frac{-19}{5}

Now apply the lense formula for the eyepiece

\frac{1}{-25}-\frac{1}{-19 / 5}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{e}}} \\ \\ \Rightarrow \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{e}}=\frac{25 \times 19}{106} \approx 4.48 \mathrm{~cm}
