Solution
a) Arrangement of lenses shown in the figure is refracting telescope.
b) 1) object lens collect the light coming form the distant object and forms the image
2)The image works as object for the eye piece which forms the final image.
c) We can get different magnifications by using the eye piece with different focal lengths.
