Who wore the sweater ?

• From clue 2, C wears a tie, so C is not the sweater wearer.

• From clue 1, neither B nor Ribeiro wore a white sweater; since C wears a tie, the sweater must be worn by either A or B.

• If B wore the sweater, it could not be white (clue 1), so it would be blue or black.

• However, we must determine the specific person. Let's deduce the full mapping: C wears a tie. The remaining garments are jacket and sweater for A and B.

• Clue 4 says Kumar does not wear a jacket. Clue 1 says Ribeiro did not wear a white sweater.

• Let's test names: If A is Ribeiro, B is Kumar, C is Singh. C (Singh) wears tie. Singh's garment not white (clue 3), so C's tie is blue or black. Ribeiro (A) doesn't like black (clue 5). Kumar (B) doesn't wear jacket (clue 4), so B wears sweater. If B wears sweater, it's not white (clue 1). So B's sweater is blue or black. A (Ribeiro) wears jacket. A doesn't like black, so A's jacket is white or blue. C's tie is the remaining color. This path is complex. Let's look at the sweater wearer directly.

• We know C wears a tie. So the sweater is worn by A or B.

• Clue 1: Neither B nor Ribeiro wore a white sweater. This implies if B wore the sweater, it wasn't white. If Ribeiro wore the sweater, it wasn't white.

• Let's determine who wears the sweater. Since C wears a tie, the sweater is A or B.

• Consider the name-garment-color links.

• If B wore the sweater, B is not Ribeiro (from clue 1, 'neither B nor Ribeiro wore a white sweater' implies B and Ribeiro are distinct entities in the context of the constraint, or simply that B's sweater isn't white and Ribeiro's isn't white). Actually, the clue means: B did not wear a white sweater AND Ribeiro did not wear a white sweater.

• Let's assume A wears the sweater. Then B wears the jacket. C wears the tie.

• If A wears the sweater, who is A?

• Let's use the name constraints. Kumar doesn't wear a jacket (clue 4). So Kumar wears sweater or tie. C wears tie. So Kumar is either A (if A wears sweater) or C (if C wears tie). But C wears tie. So Kumar is C or A.

• If Kumar is C, C wears tie.

• If Kumar is A, A wears sweater (since B wears jacket in this scenario).

• Let's try to fix the names.

• Garments: C=Tie. A/B = Jacket/Sweater.

• Clue 4: Kumar != Jacket. So Kumar is C (Tie) or the one wearing Sweater.

• Clue 1: B != White Sweater. Ribeiro != White Sweater.

• Clue 5: Ribeiro != Black.

• Clue 3: Singh != White.

• Let's assume A wears the Sweater. Then B wears the Jacket.

• Kumar is not Jacket, so Kumar is not B. Kumar is A or C.

• If Kumar is A, A wears Sweater.

• If Kumar is C, C wears Tie.

• Let's look at colors.

• If A wears Sweater:

• If A is Ribeiro, A's sweater is not white (clue 1) and not black (clue 5). So A's sweater is Blue.

• Then B (Jacket) and C (Tie) are White and Black.

• Singh is not White (clue 3).

• If A is Ribeiro, B and C are Kumar and Singh.

• If B is Singh, B's jacket is not White. So B is Black. Then C is White. C is Kumar.

• Check: A(Ribeiro, Blue Sweater), B(Singh, Black Jacket), C(Kumar, White Tie).

• Clue 1: B(Singh) didn't wear white sweater (wore black jacket). Ribeiro(A) didn't wear white sweater (wore blue). OK.

• Clue 3: Singh(B) garment not white (black). OK.

• Clue 5: Ribeiro(A) not black (blue). OK.

• Clue 4: Kumar(C) not jacket (tie). OK.

• This works. In this case, A wears the sweater.

• What if B wears the Sweater? Then A wears the Jacket.

• Kumar is not Jacket, so Kumar is not A. Kumar is B or C.

• If B wears Sweater, B is not Ribeiro (from clue 1 interpretation? No, clue 1 says Ribeiro didn't wear white sweater. It doesn't say Ribeiro didn't wear sweater. But usually 'neither X nor Y did Z' implies X and Y are the subjects. If B wore the sweater, B's sweater is not white. If Ribeiro wore the sweater, Ribeiro's sweater is not white.

• If B wears Sweater:

• B's sweater is not white (clue 1). So Blue or Black.

• A wears Jacket.

• C wears Tie.

• Kumar is not Jacket (A). So Kumar is B or C.

• If B is Ribeiro: B's sweater is not white (clue 1) and not black (clue 5). So B's sweater is Blue.

• Then A and C are White and Black.

• Singh is not White.

• If A is Singh, A's jacket is not White. So A is Black. C is White. C is Kumar.

• Check: B(Ribeiro, Blue Sweater), A(Singh, Black Jacket), C(Kumar, White Tie).

• Clue 1: B(Ribeiro) didn't wear white sweater (blue). Ribeiro didn't wear white sweater (blue). OK.

• Clue 3: Singh(A) not white (black). OK.

• Clue 5: Ribeiro(B) not black (blue). OK.

• Clue 4: Kumar(C) not jacket (tie). OK.

• This also works? Wait. In this case B wears the sweater.

• Let's re-read Clue 1 carefully: "neither B nor Ribeiro wore a white sweater". This phrasing often implies that B and Ribeiro are two different people, or it just lists two conditions. If B IS Ribeiro, the statement is redundant but true. However, in logic puzzles, if it says "Neither A nor B is X", it usually allows A=B. But let's look at the options. The official key is A. This implies the second scenario (B wears sweater) must be invalid.

• Why is the second scenario invalid?

• In Scenario 2: B(Ribeiro, Blue Sweater), A(Singh, Black Jacket), C(Kumar, White Tie).

• Is there a contradiction?

• Clue 1: "neither B nor Ribeiro wore a white sweater". If B is Ribeiro, he wore a blue sweater. He did not wear a white sweater. The condition holds.

• However, look at Clue 5: "Ribeiro does not like to wear the black colour". In Scenario 2, Ribeiro wears Blue. OK.

• Look at Clue 3: "Singh's garment was not white". In Scenario 2, Singh wears Black. OK.

• Is there a constraint I missed?

• Let's check the names again. Surnames: Ribeiro, Kumar, Singh.

• In Scenario 1: A=Ribeiro, B=Singh, C=Kumar. A wears Sweater.

• In Scenario 2: B=Ribeiro, A=Singh, C=Kumar. B wears Sweater.

• Is there a reason Scenario 2 is impossible?

• Let's check Clue 1 again. "neither B nor Ribeiro wore a white sweater". If B is Ribeiro, the statement is "B did not wear a white sweater". This is true.

• Perhaps the implication is that B and Ribeiro are distinct? If B and Ribeiro are distinct, then B cannot be Ribeiro.

• If B != Ribeiro:

• In Scenario 2, B is Ribeiro. So Scenario 2 is invalid if B != Ribeiro.

• In Scenario 1, A is Ribeiro, B is Singh. B != Ribeiro. Valid.

• Does the text imply B and Ribeiro are distinct? "neither B nor Ribeiro..." usually lists two distinct entities in such puzzles unless specified otherwise. If they were the same, it would say "B (Ribeiro) did not...". The use of 'nor' suggests two separate conditions on two potentially different people. Given the official key is A, we must assume B and Ribeiro are distinct people.

• Therefore, B cannot be Ribeiro.

• In Scenario 2, B was Ribeiro. So Scenario 2 is rejected.

• Thus, only Scenario 1 is valid, where A wears the sweater.
