Explanation
Hypermetropia is a condition of the eye where the person is not able to see things clearly when nearer to the eye.
The normal near point of the eye is =25cm
For corrective lens to be used ,
Focal length,= f
For corrective lens object distance =The normal near point of the eye = u=−25cm and image distance = defected near point of man = v=−100cm
Lens formula:
1f=1v−1u
1f=1−100−1−25=125−1100=3100
f=33.33cm=0.33m
Power, P=1f=10.333=3D
Hence, Power of lens is 3D
Given,
Near point, v=−120cm
Reading Distance, u=−40cm
From lens formula,
1f=1v−1u=1−120−1−40=160
f=+60cm
Focal length of lens f=+60cm
From the question we can see that the student is unable to see objects that are away from him clearly. This is the condition for myopia.
Hence the correct answer is option (A).
