As we discussed in

For astronomical telescope

f_{o}=40cm\\f(e)=4cm

Object distance for objective lens

\mu_{o}=-200cm

For 1st image : \mu_{o}=-200,\:\:\:\:\:\:\:f_{o}=40cm

\therefore\:\frac{1}{V_{o}}-\frac{1}{\mu _{o}}\:=\frac{1}{f_{o}}\:\:\:\:\: or \frac{1}{V_{o}}=\frac{1}{f_{o}}+\frac{1}{\mu _{o}}

or \frac{1}{V_{o}}=\frac{1}{40}-\frac{1}{200}=\frac{4}{200}

V_{o}\:=\:50cm.

Since image will form at focal point of eyepiece, hence distance of this image from eyepiece = 4 cm

Hence distance between objective and eyepiece = (50+4) cm

                                                                                = 54 cm


Option 1)

67.3 cm

This option is incorrect.

Option 2)

46.0 cm

This option is incorrect.

Option 3)

50.0 cm

This option is incorrect.

Option 4)

54.0 cm

This option is correct.
