उत्तर
A concave (or diverging) lens forms an upright and diminished image of an object irrespective of its position.

The outline ray diagram showing the formation of the image is given in figure. For the object AB, the image is A’B’.
The image is formed between optical centre O and focus F, in front of the lens.
The image is virtual.
