An angular magnification (magnifying power) of \(30\mathrm{X}\) is desired using an objective of focal length \(1.25~\text{cm}\) and an eyepiece of focal length \(5~\text{cm}\). The separation between the objective lens and the eyepiece should be:
1. \(11.67~\text{cm}\)
2. \(10.23~\text{cm}\)
3. \(12.21~\text{cm}\)
4. \(13.13~\text{cm}\)
