The magnification of the convex lens is -3.

Explanation:

Given that,

Object distance, u = -20 cm

Focal length of the convex lens, f = +15 cm (it is positive for convex lens)

Let v is the position of the image. It is given by using lens formula as :

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{15}+\dfrac{1}{(-20)}

v = 60 cm

The magnification of the lens is given by :

m=\dfrac{v}{u}

m=\dfrac{60}{-20}

m = -3

So, the magnification of the convex lens is -3. Hence, this is the required solution.
