Image Formation by Partial Lens and Real Images

Assertion (A): When the upper half of a converging lens is missing, a real image formed by the lens for a real object will lack its lower half.
Reason (R): The real image formed by a thin lens for a real object will be always erected.
 
Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Assertion A is false because even with half the lens missing, a complete image is formed, but its intensity is reduced. Reason R is false as real images formed by a thin lens for a real object are generally inverted, not always erected.
