Answer

See the detailed answer below.

Work Step by Step

$$\color{blue}{\bf [a]}$$ We know that the magnification of a telescope is given by $$M= \dfrac{\theta_{\rm eye}}{\theta_{\rm object}}=-\dfrac{f_{\rm object}}{f_{\rm eye}}$$ $$M= -\dfrac{f_{\rm object}}{f_{\rm eye}}\tag 1$$ we are given that $f_{\rm object}=1.0\;\rm m=100\;cm$, so we need to find $f_{\rm eye}$; where we know that the angular magnification of a magnifying glass is given by $$M_{\rm eye}=\dfrac{25\;\rm cm}{f_{\rm eye}}$$ Hence, $$f_{\rm eye}=\dfrac{25\;\rm cm}{M_{\rm eye}}=\dfrac{25}{10}=\bf 2.5\;\rm cm$$ Plugging into (1); $$M= -\dfrac{f_{\rm object}}{f_{\rm eye}} =-\dfrac{100}{2.5}=\color{red}{\bf -40}$$ $$\color{blue}{\bf [b]}$$ We know that the $f_{\rm number}$ is given by $$f_{\rm number}=\dfrac{f}{D}$$ Plugging the known; $$f_{\rm number}=\dfrac{100}{20}=\color{red}{\bf 5}$$
