Analyze the observed image characteristics

The actual object is a small green toy block. When viewed through the double convex magnifying lens, the image is upright (not inverted) and magnified (larger than the actual block).

Determine the type of image formed

A double convex lens forms an upright, magnified image only when it acts as a magnifying glass. This type of image is a virtual image.

Identify the required object position

For a convex lens to produce an upright, magnified virtual image, the object must be placed between the lens and its focal point.

Match with the diagram locations

Looking at the provided diagram:

• Location 3 is labeled as the "Focal Point".
• Location 4 lies between the focal point (Location 3) and the lens.
• Therefore, the object must be placed at Location 4.
