Solution

Without the diagram, it's difficult to provide an accurate answer. However, I can explain the concepts to you.

A converging lens, also known as a convex lens, bends light rays towards each other and can form both real and virtual images.

  1. A real image is formed where light rays actually meet after refracting through the lens. Real images can be projected onto a screen and are always inverted (upside down).

  2. A virtual image is formed where light rays appear to meet when traced back. Virtual images cannot be projected onto a screen and are always upright.

So, depending on where the object is placed in relation to the lens, and where points X and Y are located, any of the four statements could be correct.

If you could provide the diagram, I would be able to give a more specific answer.
