Solution
When the object is situated at infinity, the position of image is at F2, it is very much diminished in size and it is real and inverted.
When the object (AB) is situated beyond 2F1, the position of image (A’B’) is between F2 and 2F2, it is diminished in size and real and inverted.
When the object (AB) is situated at 2F1, the position of image (A’B’) is at 2F2, it is of same size as the object and real and inverted.
When the object (AB) is situated between 2F1and F1, the position of image (A’B’) is beyond 2F2, it is magnified in size and real and inverted.
When the object (AB) is situated at F1, the position of image is at infinity; it is very much magnified in size and real and inverted.
When the object (AB) is situated between lens and F1, the position of image (CD) is on the same side, behind the object; it is magnified in size and virtual and upright.
