Answer the following questions：-

Question1: A lens forms an erect image for all
positions of the object in front of it. Is the lens
convex or concave?
Question2: Where should an object be
placed so that a real and inverted image of
same size is obtained using a convex lens?
Answer: The object has to be placed at ----
