Given below are two statements: One is labeled as Assertion

Question: Given below are two statements: One is labeled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labeled as Reason $\mathrm{R}$. Assertion A: For a simple microscope, the angular size of the object equals the angular size of the image. Reason $\mathrm{R}$ : Magnification is achieved as the small object can be kept much closer to the eye than $25 \mathrm{~cm}$ and hence it subtends a large angle. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:Both ...
