Solution
Given, Rajan’s age on the joining = 24 years and retirement age = 60 years
The number of years, he did the job = Retirement age – Joining age
= 60 – 24
= 36 years
∴ The fraction of his age till retirement, when he was in the job
= `"Total years he did the job"/"Retirement age"`
= `36/60` ...[∵ HCF of 36 and 60 = 12]
= `(36 ÷ 12)/(60 ÷ 12)`
= `3/5`
Hence, the required fraction is `3/5`.
