The focal lengths of the objective and the eyepiece of a compound microscope are $2 \,cm$ and $3 \,cm$ respectively, and the distance between them is $15 \,cm$. The final image formed by the eyepiece is at infinity. The distances of the object and the image produced by the objective lens from the objective lens are respectively:

  • A
    $2.4 \,cm, 12 \,cm$
  • B
    $2.4 \,cm, 15 \,cm$
  • C
    $2.3 \,cm, 12 \,cm$
  • D
    $2.3 \,cm, 3 \,cm$
