Question

You are looking at an image through a thin lens. You see the object as upright and larger than the object. What kind of lens are you looking through and where is the object?

This is not possible

Concave lens, any location     

Convex lens, between the lens and the focal point

Convex lens, any location

Convex lens, beyond the focal point

Concave lens, between the lens and the focal point

Concave lens, beyond the focal point

NOTE: A convex lens is converging, and a concave lens is diverging. (Opposite in function from mirrors.)

Explanation / Answer

Every upright image is a virtual image. Moreover the concave lens always provides a virtual image irrespective of the location of the object. But the convex provides virtual enlarged image if the object is in-between focal point and the lens. Therefore, the correct answer is Convex lens, between the lens and the focal point
