The correct answer is: $-48,-40$
When the final image is at the least distance of distinct vision, then
$m=-\frac{f_o}{f_e}\left(1+\frac{f_e}{D}\right)=\frac{200}{5}\left(1+\frac{5}{25}\right)=\frac{200 \times 6}{5 \times 5}=-48$
When the final image is at infinity, then
$m=\frac{-f_o}{f_e}=\frac{200}{5}=-40$
