[C] A convex lens of focal length 5 cm
For reading small letters, a convex lens of focal length 5 cm should be used. You must know two sentences in the context of this question. Such as
(1) Magnification is also higher for convex lenses having shorter focal length.
(2) A magnified image of an object will be obtained when it is placed between the optical centre and focus of a convex lens.
(c) A convex lens gives a magnified image of an object when it is placed between the
radius of curvature and focal length. Also, magnification is more for convex lenses having
shorter focal length. Therefore, for reading small letters, a convex lens of focal length 5
cm should be used.
