ANSWER

False

Step-by-step explanation

We want to know if the image produced by a convex lens is always real.

A convex lens can form real images but it can also form virtual images. This will only occur when the object is placed in between the focus and optical center of the lens.

In this case, the image is erect and enlarged and magnification is always greater than 1.

The answer is false.
