Question

A person can see clearly only the objects situates in the range of 50 cm to 300 cm. He went to an Optometrist who prescribed him a lens of certain power to increase the maximum distance of his vision to infinity, i.e., it corrected the near sightedness. However, upon using the prescribed lens the person discovered that the near point of his vision has shifted from 50 cm to a distance ‘d’. What is the value of d?
