What is a simple microscope?

$(a)$ $A$ card sheet divided into squares each of size $1 \; mm^2$ is being viewed through a magnifying glass (a converging lens of focal length $9 \; cm$) held close to the eye. Where should the lens be held in order to view the squares distinctly with the maximum possible magnifying power?
$(b)$ What is the magnification in this case?
$(c)$ Is the magnification equal to the magnifying power in this case? Explain.

$A$ man uses a thin convex lens of focal length $5 \, cm$ as a magnifying glass. He reads a book by holding it close to his near point of $25 \, cm$. What are the closest and farthest distances at which he can keep the book from the lens to read clearly?

In a Ramsden eyepiece,two planoconvex lenses,each of focal length $f$,are separated by a distance of $12 \ cm$. The equivalent focal length (in $cm$) of the eyepiece is:

$A$ microscope has an objective of focal length $2 \ cm$,an eyepiece of focal length $4 \ cm$,and a tube length of $40 \ cm$. If the distance of distinct vision is $25 \ cm$,the magnification of the microscope is:

The image formed by an objective lens of a compound microscope is
