Detailed Solution

To obtain a sharp image of the building instead of the window pane, Sudha will have to move the screen slightly towards the lens.
The lens used is convex since the image created is real. When an object is farther away from a convex lens, the real image generated by the lens is farther away—because of this, moving the screen close to the lens is necessary to get a clear image of the structure.
