Detailed Solution

Given, near point of normal eye u=-25 cm
Near point of defective eye v=-75 cm
Using lens formula,
1f=1v-1u
 1f=1-75-1(-25)
 1f=50(75)(25)
 f=37.5 cm
 f=0.375 m
Now, power of a lens is given by
 P=1f
 P=10.375
 P=+2.67 D
Therefore, the power of the lens to be used is +2.67 D and since the focal length of this lens is positive, it is a convex lens.
