Detailed Solution

As object is at distance of 2.4 cm, in front of field lens of focal length 2cm. Field lens will forms its image at distance v such that

For eye-piece, $\frac{1}{\infty} - \frac{1}{u_{e}} = \frac{1}{5}$

$\frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{- 2.4} = \frac{1}{2} i . e ., v = 12 c m$

$i . e ., u_{e} = - 5 c m$

So that $m = \frac{v}{u} = \frac{12}{- 2.4} = - 5$

and $m_{θ} = (\frac{D}{F_{C}}) = (\frac{25}{5}) = 5$

So, $M P = m \times m_{θ} = - 5 \times 5 = - 25$
