Solution
When an object is placed between the optical center and principal focus of a convex lens:
Since the image formed is virtual and erect, the sign of magnification will be positive. Moreover, the image formed is magnified; therefore, the absolute value of magnification will be greater than one.

A converging lens of focal length f is placed at a distance 0.3 m from an object to produce an image on a screen 0.9 m from the lens. With the object and the screen in the same positions, an image of the object could also be produced on the screen by placing a converging lens of focal length.
