7. Mr. Rajan got a job at the age of 24 yr and he got retired from the job
at the age of 60 yr. What fraction of his age till retirement was he in
the job?
Given, Rajan’s age on the joining = 24 yr
And retirement age = 60 Yr
The number of years, he did the job
= Retirment age – Joining age

∴ The fraction of his age till retirement, when he was in the job
