virtual and magnified
Reason — The sign of magnification tells the nature of the image and its numerical value tells the size of the image.
Here, magnification is positive, which means the image is erect and hence virtual, and its numerical value is 2 (i.e., greater than 1), which means the image is twice the size of the object and hence magnified.
