Lens maker's equation:
    1/f = (n - 1) [1/R1 - 1/R2]
          = (n - 1) [1/R + 1/R] = 2(n - 1) /R
      f = R/ [2(n-1)]

1/v - 1/u = 1/f           , u is -ve by convention.
    1/v + 1/R = (n-1)2/R
    1/v = (2n - 3)/R
     v = R/(2n - 3)

m = v/u = 1/(2n - 3).  
Nature of the image depends on the refractive index n of the lens. If it is less than 3/2, then it will form a virtual magnified image.

If the n > 3/2, then it will form a real magnified image.
