Question
CBSEENPH12038213

Is the magnification equal to the magnifying power in this case? Explain.

Solution
Near point, D = 25 cm 
Distance where the object is kept, u = 7.14 cm

Magnifying power of the lens, M = D/u 

                                                 = 257.14    = 3.5  

Here, in this case since the image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision, the magnifying power is equal to the magnitude of magnification.
