Answer: The size of the image is 10 cm and the image is real and inverted.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of object h = 5 cm

Focal length f = 20 cm

The distance of the object u = -30 cm

Using lens's formula

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

\dfrac{1}{20}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{-30}

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{60}

v = 60

The image is formed at 60 cm on the other side from the lens.

The magnification is

m = \dfrac{v}{u}

m = \dfrac{60}{-30}

m = -2

The image is real, inverted .

Size of the image,

m = \dfrac{h'}{h}

-2 = \dfrac{h'}{5}

h' = -10 cm

Hence, The size of the image is 10 cm and the image is real and inverted.
