Question 2
A student sitting on the last bench can read the letters written on the blackboard but is not able to read the letters written in his textbook. Which of the following statements is correct?

(a) The near point of his eyes has receded away
(b) The near point of his eyes has come closer to him
(c) The far point of his eyes has come closer to him
(d) The far point of his eyes has receded away

Answer 1

Option (a) is correct
The minimum distance at which objects can be seen most distinctly without strain is called the near point of eye.
Since the student is not able to read the book kept close to the eye, it means that the near point or the least distance for distinct vision is receded away.
The farthest point upto which the eye can see objects clearly is called the far point of the eye.
