i.e If the 4X objective had a resolution value of 100 nm while the 10 X objective had a value
of 50 nm, which objective can provide a more detailed image?
does more magnification and resolution make a more detailed picture?

This depends on how you define 'detailed'.
A more magnified image would be more 'detailed' in the sense that it would provide an image of a smaller portion, for example, you would see living tissue in place of a macroscopic organism body, hence, you would see more detail.
A more resolved image would mean that the image would be more clear, and more in focus. It can distinguish between objects that are closer together in the object plane, and will hence appear less 'fuzzy'.
Both are detailed in a different way.
