Solution

The question does not provide the total number of workers in the office, so we will assume a number that is easily divisible by 3 and 4. Let's assume there are 120 workers in total.

  1. One-third of the workers are women, so there are 120/3 = 40 women.
  2. Half of the women are married, so there are 40/2 = 20 married women.
  3. Three-fourth of the men are married. There are 120 - 40 = 80 men in the office, so 80*3/4 = 60 men are married.

Therefore, the ratio of married women to married men is 20:60, which simplifies to 1:3. So, the correct answer is 1:3.
