Detailed Solution

We cannot interchange the objective and eye lenses of a microscope to make a telescope because focal length of lenses is very small in compound microscope and hence their difference $(f_{0} - f_{e})$ is also very small.

Whereas in telescope, objective has a very large focal length as compared to eye lens. So, difference between focal length of objective and eye piece is large in telescope as compared to the same in case of microscope.

Therefore, Both Assertion and Reason are false.
