EASY

Given below are two statements : one is labeled as Assertion A and the other is labeled as Reason R.

Assertion A: For a simple microscope, the angular size of the object equals the angular size of the image.

Reason R: Magnification is achieved as the small object can be kept much closer to the eye than 25 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:
