Statement 2: The real image formed by a thin lens for a real object will be always inverted.

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Statement-1 is false: if the upper half of the lens is missing, the lower half still forms the complete image of the whole object (only the intensity is reduced), so no half of the image is lost. Statement-2 is true: a thin lens forming a real image of a real object always gives an inverted image (m < 0). Hence (D).
