Answer

$1.21m$

Work Step by Step

As $d_i=(\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{d_{\circ}})^{-1}$ $\implies d_i=(Refractive \space power-\frac{1}{d_{\circ}})^{-1}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $d_i=(3.6diopters-\frac{1}{0.25-0.025})^{-1}=-1.18m$ Now we can calculate the near point as $N=1.18+0.025=1.21m$
