Mohan, Sohan and Rahul separately measured the focal length of the same convex lens using the same distant tree as object. All of them measured the distance between the lens and the inverted image of the tree on the screen. Mohan obtained a sharp image on the screen and labelled the measured distance as f1

Sohan obtained a slightly smaller and somewhat blurred image on the screen. He labelled the measured distance as f2

Rahul obtained a slightly magnified and blurred image on the screen. He labelled the measured distance as f3.

The three measured values of focal length are likely to be related as—
