Answer:

The focal length of the lens is +30 and it is a convex lens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The nearest distance of distinct vision of a hypermetropial person is 60 cm, v = -60 cm

The distance is reduced by 20 cm, u = -20 cm

We need to find the nature and focal length of the lens.

Let f be the focal length of the lens. Using lens formula,

So, the focal length of the lens is +30 and it is a convex lens.
