Detailed Solution

 Height of image(I)= -20 cm (Inverted image is denoted by negative sign)

Height of object(O) = 4 cm 

Magnification is given by the ratio of the height of the image to the height of the object.

Magnification= IO= -204= -5

Therefore, the magnification of the image will be -5. The negative sign indicates that the image is real and inverted.
