Answer:

Total magnification of microscope at this setting is 40X

Step-by-step explanation:

Total magnification of microscope is determined by multiplying the magnification power of individual lenses.

So if eyepiece has magnification power of 10X and objective lense has magnification power of 4X , the total magnification of microscope would be

10 × 4 = 40

which means the object will appear 40 times larger than actual object.
