Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
A virtual image is an upright image attained when the rays seem to diverge.
It’s an erect image formed when both of the light rays intersect with each other at a certain point. It is an image whose directions are equivalent to those in the object.
The image is said to be diminished if the size of the image formed is smaller than the object.
The concave lens is thicker at the edges and thinner in the middle. It is a diverging lens, where the rays get refracted or diverge all parallel lines. Diverging light rays form virtual images. The concave lens diverges the refracted rays away because of its shape. As a result, these rays never intersect to form the image.
