A is true but R is false. Explanation: The assertion is true because a diverging (concave) lens always forms a virtual, erect, and diminished image regardless of the object's position. The reason is false because watchmakers and palmists use a converging (convex) lens, not a diverging lens, as a magnifying glass to see an enlarged and magnified image of small objects.TgQPHd||[]
