One end of its image touches an end of the rod. So, one end of the rod is present at the centre of curvature of mirror. Image is magnified. So, the other end A is between C and focus. Lets assume that end A of rod has its image at A'.

For it,   \mathrm{ \quad u=-\left(2 f-\frac{f}{3}\right)=\frac{-5 f}{3}}
So, using   \mathrm{ \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{-f}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{\frac{-5 f}{3}} \Rightarrow v=-\frac{5}{2} f}
\therefore  Length of image   \mathrm{ =\frac{5}{2} f-2 f=\frac{f}{2}}.
