Hi aspirant,

This question can be easily solved using the lens formula and magnification formula.

Hi-10 cm

U=(-10)cm

F= 5cm

Using lens formula 1/f= 1/v - 1/u

1/v= 1/5 +(-1/10)

v= 10 cm

Now, Magnification=v/u=hi/ho

= (-10/10) = hi/10

Hi= -1cm

Therefore the image formed is real, inverted and diminished.
