(N/A) $(i)$ When the student sits at the front desk,the object is too close. The light rays from the blackboard focus behind the retina,resulting in a blurred image on the retina.
$(ii)$ When the student sits at the last desk,the object is at a sufficient distance. The light rays from the blackboard focus exactly on the retina,resulting in a clear image.
$(b)$ The student is suffering from hypermetropia,also known as long-sightedness.
$(c)$ This defect can be corrected by using a convex lens of suitable focal length. The convex lens converges the light rays before they enter the eye,allowing the image to be formed on the retina.
