A. Hypermetropia is a defect that causes difficulty in focusing on near objects, with clearer vision observed for distant objects. In Myopia distant objects appear blurry while near objects are seen clearly.

B. (i) The image shows a case of hypermetropia.

(ii) shortening of the eyeball or focal length of the eye lens becomes too long.

(iii) No the concave lens would diverge the rays coming to the eyeball and will push the image even further, but a convex lens should be used which will help to converge the rays and create the image at the exact place on the retina.
