Since the image formed by the lens is real and inverted it is formed on the side opposite to the one where object is placed.

Image position v = 50 cm

Let the object position be u.

Since image formed is inverted and the size image is equal to the size of the object, magnification (m) = -1.

\\m=\frac{v}{u}\\ -1=\frac{v}{u}\\ u=-v\\ u=-50\ cm

The needle is placed 50 cm in front of the lens

Using lens formula we have

\\\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}\\ \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{50}-\frac{1}{-50}\\ \frac{1}{f}=\frac{2}{50}\\ f=25\ cm

Power of the lens P is given by

\\P=\frac{1}{f}\\ P=\frac{1}{25\times 10^{-2}}\\ P=4\ D

The power of the lens P is 4 Dioptre.
