If the magnification produced by a lens is +2, then the image is :

The magnification (m) produced by a lens is defined by both its sign and its magnitude. A positive sign (+) in the magnification value indicates that the image is virtual and erect [4]. Conversely, a negative sign would indicate a real and inverted image [2]. The magnitude of the magnification determines the relative size of the image compared to the object. If the absolute value of magnification (|m|) is greater than 1, the image is enlarged or larger than the object [3]. In this case, a magnification of +2 signifies that the image is virtual, erect, and twice the size of the object (larger) [3]. This specific condition occurs in a convex lens when the object is placed between the optical center and the principal focus [3].
