In a certain office (1/3) of the worker are women (1/2) of the women are married and (1/3) of the married women have children. If (3/4) of the man are married and (2/3) of the married men have children. What part of workers are without children?

Correct Answer: 11/18

Explanation:

Let, total number of workers be N .
Then number of women = N/3
Number of men = 2N/3
Number of women having children = 1/3 of 1/2 of N/3 = N/18
Number of men having children = 2/3 of 3/4 of 2N/3 = N/3
Number of workers having children = N/18 + N/3 = 7N/18
Number of workers having no children = N - 7N/18 = 11N/18
=11/18 of all workers
