Problem

A person whose near point is at 50 cm50\,\text{cm} uses a convex lens of focal length f=5 cmf = 5\,\text{cm} as a simple magnifier, holding the lens very close to her eye. Which pair (p,q)(p, q) is correct, where pp is the object distance from the lens required for the final image to be at infinity and qq is the angular magnification in that adjustment? (a) (5 cm,  6)(5\,\text{cm},\;6) (b) (10 cm,  5)(10\,\text{cm},\;5) (c) (5 cm,  10)(5\,\text{cm},\;10) (d) (4 cm,  11)(4\,\text{cm},\;11)
