Solution

Near point of the person is 1 m , it means that he can see an object kept at 25 cm clearly only if image formed of this object by corrective lens is at 1 m.
Using Sign convention rules we consider
u=25cm as image is formed real we are using minus sign
v=1m=100cm
So 1f=1v1u
1f=1100125
so f=1003cm=13m
Power P=1f=11/3=3D
