solution:::
in a concave mirror we need to take to concepts into consideration:::
i>in case of a concave mirror the image is formed on the object only when then the object is placed at radius of curvature.
ii>the image is magnified and real and inverted only when object is placed between C and F and at F.
here,the farther end is at 2d and near end is at 2d-d/3=5d/3.
the image of farther end is at 2d itself.............(refer to point (i))
and applying mirror formula get the position of near end,we get the position of image to be 5d/2 on same side as that of the object.
thus,image length=5d/2-2d=d/2
THUS,THE LENGTH OF THE IMAGE OF THE ROD IS 0.5d OR d/2.
