Detailed Solution

The nature of the lens is convex.
It is known that the power of a lens is the reciprocal of the focal length of the lens. Mathematically,
P=1f
Where f is the focal length of the lens.
From the above relation, it can be said that the power is positive because the focal length is positive. Also, the convex lenses have a positive focal length. Hence, it can be said that the lens is convex as it has positive power.
