उत्तर १
- When an object is put inside the focal length of a magnifying glass or simple microscope (convex lens), the larger and erect image appears on the same side of the lens as the object.
- By altering the distance between the object and the lens, the image can be obtained at the shortest distance of distinct vision. Thus, a watch repairer may see the minute parts of a watch more clearly with the use of a magnifying glass (a rudimentary microscope) than with the naked eye, and without putting any strain on the eye. As a result, watch repairers utilise a magnifying glass (a basic microscope) to repair the timepieces.
उत्तर २
- In a simple microscope, a convex lens with a small focal length is used.
- It produces a virtual, erect, and bigger image of an object.
- We can get a 20 times larger image of an object using a simple microscope.
Hence, watch repairers use a simple microscope while repairing watches.

(B) Convex and F1 < F2
(C) Convex and F1 > F2
(D) Concave and F1 > F2
