  1. The focal length of lens A is 10cm as only a converging lens forms a real, inverted, magnified image at great distance when object is placed at the focus of the lens.
  2. The focal length of lens B is 5cm as only a converging lens forms a real, inverted and same size image of object when the object is placed at 2F position of the lens.
  3. Lens A is a converging (convex) lens as only a converging lens forms a real image.
  4. Lens B is a converging (convex) lens as only a converging lens forms a real image.
