Solution and Explanation
The person is able to see nearby objects clearly, but he is unable to see objects beyond 1.2 m. This happens because the image of an object beyond 1.2 m is formed in front of the retina and not at the retina, as shown in the given figure.
To correct this defect of vision, he must use a concave lens. The concave le ns will bring the image back to the retina as shown in the given figure.
