A plano-convex lens is made of a material of refractive index . When a small object is placed 30 cm away in front of the curved surface of the lens, an image of double the size of the object is produced. Due to reflection from the convex surface of the lens, another faint image is observed at a distance of 10 cm away from the lens. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) true?

Answer and worked solution
Official answer: A, D
Lens. A real image twice the size gives , so cm with cm:
(D) is true.
Reflection from the convex face. The curved face acts as a convex mirror and forms a virtual, erect image 10 cm behind it:
So (B) is false, and (C) is false because the image is virtual, not real.
Refractive index. , so . (A) is true.
(A), (D)
