The given question is incorrect. The correct question is as follows:

If the ocular lens magnifies a specimen 10X, and the objective lens used magnifies the specimen 35X, what is the total magnification being used to observe the specimen?

Answer:

350X.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lens of the desired magnification is used to see the objects clearly. The microscopic objects can be easily magnified by using the lens.

The total magnification can be calculated as follows;

Total magnification = ocular lens magnification × objective lens magnification.

Here, ocular lens magnification = 10X and objective lens magnification = 35X,

Total magnification = 35X × 10X

Total magnification = 350X.

Thus, the answer is 350X.
