Solution

Given, $m=10$, length of telescope $=1.1 \mathrm{~m}$ We know that, Magnification, $m=\frac{t_0}{t_e}$ $\begin{aligned} & 10=\frac{t_0}{t_e} \\ & f_0=10 f_e \\ & \because \quad f_e+f_0=1.1 \mathrm{~m} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad t_e+10 t_e=1.1 \mathrm{~m} \\ & {\left[\because f_0=10 f_e\right]} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad f_e(1+10)=1.1 \mathrm{~m} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad f_e=0.1 \mathrm{~m} \text { or } 10 \mathrm{~cm} \\ & \end{aligned}$ Magnification least distance of distinct vision, $\begin{aligned} M_b & =\frac{f_o}{f_e}\left(1+\frac{f_e}{D}\right) \\ & =10\left(1+\frac{10}{25}\right) \quad[\because D=25 \mathrm{~cm}] \\ & =10 \times \frac{35}{25} \\ & =14\end{aligned}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
