Answer:

The correct answer will be- 95X.

Step-by-step explanation:

Magnification of a microscope is the amount of the visual enlargement of the observed object.

The magnification of a microscope can be increased by changing the lens closer to the object called an objective lens while the ocular lens close to the eyes remain fixed. The magnification is a result of the multiplication of the power of the ocular lens to the objective lens like in the given case:

Magnification= power of ocular lens X power of the objective lens.

950 X = 10X x P(o)

P (o)= 95X

Thus, 95X is the correct answer.
