A ray diagram without the produced image is shown.
A car is the object in between F and 2 F on the object side of a biconcave lens. A ray parallel to the principal axis is bent away from F on the object side of the lens. A ray goes straight through the center of the lens and the two diverge.
Which describes the image produced by the lens?
smaller than the object and upright
smaller than the object and inverted
real and upright
real and inverted

smaller than the object and upright.
Reason: a biconcave (diverging) lens always produces a virtual, upright, reduced image for a real object. The parallel ray diverges as if from the focal point on the object side and the central ray goes straight; their backward extensions meet on the object side between the lens and F, giving a smaller, upright (virtual) image.
