Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions that follow:
Five persons T, N, R, C and G went to the market on different days of a week from Monday to Friday, but not necessarily in the same order. They wore different types of cloths among Cotton, Silk, Wool, Leather and Linen. Additional information about them is given below.
Three persons went to the market between the persons who wore Cotton and Leather. T wore Silk cloth and went on one of the days after C. C did not wear Linen. Two persons went to the market between R and N. R and G did not wear Leather. The number of persons who went to the market before N is more than the number of persons went to the market after N. C did not go to the market on Monday.

None of these
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
- Let's break down the information provided:
- T wore Silk and went after C.
- C did not wear Linen and did not go on Monday.
- Three people went between those who wore Cotton and Leather.
- Two people went between R and N.
- R and G did not wear Leather.
- The number of people who went before N is more than those who went after.
- From the details, N went to the market on Tuesday or Wednesday since there are more before N than after.
- With C not going on Monday, and N needing more before, C could have gone on Tuesday, permitting T (Silk) to go on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday.
- Using the positioning and cloth logic, we fit R and G around these constraints, ensuring R and G avoid Leather.
- With this reasoning, G aligns on Monday.
