Solution

(a) object 25 cm away

In hypermetropia or longsightedness, a person is unable to see nearby objects clearly. A distance of 10 cm cannot be the answer, as at this distance even the vision of a person with normal eyes will also get blurred. Therefore, the object placed at a distance of 25 cm from the eye will look blurry to a person suffering from hypermetropia.
