a. It would be +2.67 D.

It will help the person to get the image directly on the retina and the person will see the object clearly in the near point he can see.
The sky is far away from his near point and the person suffering from the hypermetropia of vision which means far sightedness in which a person can see far by objects but not nearby objects clearly.

In viewing through a magnifying glass, one usually positions one's eyes very close to the lens. Does angular magnification change if the eye is moved back?

The length of a massless rod is measured using vernier callipers having 10 vernier scale divisions and least count of 0.1 mm. Two masses 1.00 ± 0.01 kg and 4.00 ± 0.02 kg are attached to its ends. If reading of vernier scale is 5 divisions coinciding with 1.3 cm, what is the % error in locating centre of mass from lighter mass
