Question: Two converging lenses are identical in shape, i . e . they have the same two radii of curvature, R 1 and R 2 ,

Two converging lenses are identical in shape, i.e. they have the same two radii of curvature, R1 and R2, but they are made from different materials. Lens A is made from a material with refractive index 1.74, lens B from a material with refractive index n. Lens A is used in a magnifying glass with maximal angular magnification 2.25. Lens B is used in a magnifying glass with minimal angular magnification 1.15. What is the refractive index n of lens B?(Assume that the near point is at d=25cm.)
A)1.52
B)1.60
C)1.68
D)1.80
E)1.89
