A convex lens produces a magnification of +5. The object is placed : (a) at focus (b) between f and 2f (c) at less than f (d) beyond 2f

Solution

Since the magnification is positive, the image is virtual and erect. This is possible for a convex lens when the object distance is less than f. So, the correct choice is (c).
