Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
The real intersection of rays forms the real image. Therefore it can be projected on a screen. In the image below, the convergent rays meet at the principal focus on the other side of the lens. We get a Real, inverted and same-sized image.

Virtual image:
A real image is formed by tracing the intersection of rays. Therefore it cannot be projected on a screen. In the image below, we can see the convergent rays don’t meet in reality. Instead, we get a Virtual, enlarged and erect image.
The corrected statement would be only a real image can be projected on a screen and not a virtual image.
