A convex lens L1 forms an image of the same size as that of the object at a distance of 24cm. If the lens L1 is replaced by another convex lens L2, the image formed is magnified and erect. Therefore, the focal length of L2 is

Solution
The correct option is D
more than 24cm An erect image is formed by L2 so it must be a virtual image. A convex lens forms a virtual and erect image when an object is placed between focus and optical centre of the lens. Hence the object distance that is 24cm is less than the focal length ofL2 . Hence, the focal length of L2 is more than 24cm.
