Answer

(a) greater than (b) $-351cm$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that the second person's far point is $353cm$ and the image distance is $d_i=-351cm$, which is the focal length of the eye glasses. Thus, the magnitude of the focal length of the second person is greater than $351cm$. (b) We know that $\frac{1}{d_{\circ}}+\frac{1}{d_i}=\frac{1}{f}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\frac{1}{\infty}+\frac{1}{-351cm}=\frac{1}{f}$ $\implies f=-351cm$
