48 years old, by doing (relatively) simple math, you can figure it out rather easily.

Since we know the person in the problem has been working for 24 years, and 1/2 of his life, we can conclude that the man is 48 years old. This is because if half of the mans life was 24 years, we have to multiply the number by 2. The correct answer is 48.
