Question Image

Ignoring magnification effects, consider the following statements.
(I) First image has been viewed from the planar side of a plano-concave lens and second image from the planar side of a plano-convex lens.
(II) First image has been viewed from the concave side of a plano-concave lens and second image from the convex side of a plano-convex lens.
(III) First image has been viewed from the concave side of a plano-concave lens and second image from the planar side of a plano-convex lens.
