Analyse the following observation table showing variation of image distance (v) with object distance (u) in case of a convex lens and answer the questions that follow, without doing any calculations:
| S. No. | Object distance u(cm) | Image distance v(cm) |
| 1 | −90 | +18 |
| 2 | −60 | +20 |
| 3 | −30 | +30 |

| 5 | −18 | +90 |
| 6 | −10 | +100 |
