An astronomical refracting telescope is being used by an observer to observe planets in normal adjustment. The focal lengths of the objective and eyepiece used in the construction of the telescope are $20\,m$ and $2\,cm$ respectively. Consider the following statements about the telescope:
$(a)$ The distance between the objective and eyepiece is $20.02\,m$.
$(b)$ The magnification of the telescope is $1000$.
$(c)$ The image of the planet is erect and diminished.
$(d)$ The aperture of the eyepiece is smaller than that of the objective.
The correct statements are:

In an astronomical telescope in normal adjustment,a straight black line of length $L$ is drawn on the inside part of the objective lens. The eyepiece forms a real image of this line. The length of this image is $I$. The magnification of the telescope is

The astronomical telescope consists of an objective lens and an eye-piece. The focal length of the objective is:

The diameter of the moon is $3.5 \times 10^{3} \, km$ and its distance from the Earth is $3.8 \times 10^{5} \, km$. It is viewed by a telescope with objective and eyepiece focal lengths of $4 \, m$ and $10 \, cm$ respectively. What is the angular diameter of the image of the moon in degrees?
