Since the object distance → so, the Image can be assumed to form at the focus. So,
r/f = tan(x/2)
where r is the radius of image, and “x” is the angle substended by the object, i.e. Sun.
So, d = 2r = 2ftan (x/2)

Dear student 
This is the correct ans , 
For sun u = infinity 
Diameter of image = A'B'
1/v+ 1/u = 1/f 
v = f
Image formed at f of the concave mirror 
Q = A'B'/PF 
=d/f 
d =Qf 
Hope this helps
