60×3/5=36
he served 36 years of his retirement
so the age he joined his job=60-36
=24

Answer 2

Given

Age of the man = 60

Total time he served = (3/5) of his total age

To find

The age at which he had joined his job?

Solution

This can be easily solved using the basic mathematical equations

The solution to the above question is as follows

So let's first find the total age he served = 60×$\frac{3}{5}$ = 36 years

So now we got the total years he has served

• Now we just have to calculate the age at which he had joined for the job =  60-36 = 24 years

So the age at which the man joined = 24years
