The Correct Option is B

Approach Solution - 1

Matching List-I (Optical Instruments) with List-II (Nature of Lens/Mirror Used):

Optical InstrumentNature of Lens/Mirror UsedCorrect Match
(A) Human eye(III) Lens of adjustable focal lengthA → III
(B) Microscope(IV) Objective of small aperture and small focal lengthB → IV
(C) Reflecting telescope(I) Concave mirror of large aperture and large focal lengthC → I
(D) Refracting telescope(II) Objective lens of large aperture and large focal lengthD → II

Final Matching:

  • A → III: Human eye uses a lens with adjustable focal length (crystalline lens).
  • B → IV: Microscope uses an objective lens with small aperture and small focal length for high magnification.
  • C → I: Reflecting telescope uses a concave mirror with large aperture and large focal length to collect more light.
  • D → II: Refracting telescope uses an objective lens with large aperture and large focal length for better resolution.

Approach Solution -2

Let's analyze each optical instrument and the nature of the lens/mirror it uses:

  • Human eye (A): The human eye has a lens whose focal length can be adjusted by the ciliary muscles. Therefore, it matches with (III) Lens of adjustable focal length.
  • Microscope (B): A microscope typically uses an objective lens of small aperture and small focal length to achieve high magnification. Therefore, it matches with (IV) Objective of small aperture and small focal length.
  • Reflecting telescope (C): Reflecting telescopes use a concave mirror of large aperture and large focal length to collect and focus light from distant objects. Therefore, it matches with (I) Concave mirror of large aperture and large focal length.
  • Refracting telescope (D): Refracting telescopes use an objective lens of large aperture and large focal length to gather light and produce a magnified image. Therefore, it matches with (II) Objective lens of large aperture and large focal length.

 

Therefore, the correct matching is:

A - III (Human eye - Lens of adjustable focal length)
B - IV (Microscope - Objective of small aperture and small focal length)
C - I (Reflecting telescope - Concave mirror of large aperture and large focal length)
D - II (Refracting telescope - Objective lens of large aperture and large focal length)
