Detailed Solution
Since a real image is formed, the light rays must converge after refraction from lens.Hence it is a converging lensThus the focal length is positiveFor formation of image of an object at distance 25cmFrom lens equation, 1v−1u=1f⇒1v−1−25=1f ⇒1v=1f−125Since the lens in converging, v is positiveHence f<25 cmMagnification = v−25 which may be greater than or less than 1 depending upon the focal length
