If the magnification produced by a lens is +2, then the image is :

  1. A. erect, virtual and smaller than the object.
  2. B. inverted, real and smaller than the object.
  3. C. erect, virtual and larger than the object.
  4. D. inverted, real and larger than the object.

Correct Answer: C. erect, virtual and larger than the object.

Explanation

A positive magnification (m = +2) indicates that the image is erect and virtual. The magnitude (2) indicates that the image is twice the size of the object, hence larger.
