Knowledge, experience and insight from decades of teaching physics.
I = O•f/(O-f) so I = 4/4-1 = 1.33m
magnification M = I/O so 1.33/4 = 0.33 since magnification is less than 1, the image is diminished.
Correct answer is B) inverted, smaller than the object
You can use the above method to help you solve the others or state them in separate questions.
