Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Magnification is given by the formula,

m = \frac{v}{u} = \frac{h_{2}}{h_{1}}

The magnification formula clearly shows that the magnification is directly proportional to the image distance. Therefore, the image formed by a convex lens may be smaller than, equal to, or greater than the object.
