Ok the answer to this is quite simple all you do is multiply the objective lens magnification times the eye piece magnification. So multiply 30 times 5. 30 x 5 = 150. So your answer is answer choice C. 150 Hope this helped you. :)

Answer:

M = 150 times

Step-by-step explanation:

When two or more lens are used to form image then final magnification of the image is given by the product of magnification due to each lens

so here we can say


M = m_1 * m_2 * m_3 ...............

so here we know that


m_1 = 5


m_2 = 30

now the total magnification is given as


M = m_1 * m_2


M = 5 * 30


M = 150

so total magnification is 150 times
