The final image formed by an astronomical telescope is
- real, erect and diminished
- virtual, inverted and diminished
- real, inverted and magnified
- virtual, inverted and magnified
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
An astronomical telescope works by having a large objective lens and an eyepiece. It produces a virtual, inverted, and magnified image of distant objects. This is because the objective lens gathers light from distant objects and forms a real, inverted image, which is then magnified by the eyepiece. The final image appears upside down (inverted) and larger (magnified) than the original object.

Questions Asked in KCET exam
A block of certain mass is placed on a rough floor. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the block and the floor are 0.4 and 0.25 respectively. A constant horizontal force \( F = 20 \, \text{N} \) acts on it so that the velocity of the block varies with time according to the following graph. The mass of the block is nearly (Take \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)):
