A convex lens of focal length 20 cm

Question:

A convex lens of focal length 20 cm can produce a magnified virtual as well as real image.

Is this a correct statement ? If yes, where shall the object be placed in each case for obtaining these images ?

Solution:

The statement is correct.

A convex lens of focal length 20 cm will produce a magnified Virtual image if object is placed at a distance less than 20 cm from the lens.
