An observer is using an astronomical refracting telescope to observe planets in normal adjustment. The focal lengths of the objective and eyepiece used in the telescope construction are \(20​​\text{m}\) and \(2​​\text{cm}\) respectively. Consider the following statements about the telescope:
(a) the distance between the objective and the eyepiece is \(20.02​​\text{m}.\)
(b) the magnification of the telescope is \(-1000\).
(c) the image of the planet is erect and diminished.
(d) the aperture of the eyepiece is smaller than that of the objective.
 
The correct statements are:
1. (a), (b), and (c) 2. (b), (c), and (d)
3. (c), (d), and (a) 4. (a), (b), and (d)

In an astronomical telescope in normal adjustment, a straight line of length \(L\) is drawn on the inside part of the objective lens. The eye-piece forms a real image of this line. The length of this image is \(l.\) The magnification of the telescope is:
1. \(\frac{L}{l}+1\)
2. \(\frac{L}{l}-1\)
3. \(\frac{L+1}{l-1}\)
4. \(\frac{L}{l}\)
