Given,
Image distance, v=75 cm and object distance, u=–∞
Since the person is suffering from long-sightedness or hypermetropia, the corrective lens used will be a convex lens; hence, the focal length should be positive.
From the lens formula,
1f=1v-1u
Where fv, and u are the focal length, image distance, and object distance, respectively.
On substituting the given values, we get the focal length as
1f=175-1-
1f=175
 f= 75 cm
Hence, the focal length is 75 cm.
Now, it is known that the power of a lens is the reciprocal of the focal length of the lens. Mathematically, 
P=100f
Where f is the focal length of the lens in centimetres.
On substituting the given values, we get the power as
P=10074
P=1.33 D
Hence, the power of the lens required is 1.33 D.
