Analysis:

Given Conditions:
- G has to go after Thursday.
- Only 1 person between Geography and English.
- At least 2 people between G and B.
- Only 2 people between C and E.
- 3 people between G and D; D goes before Goa.
- B goes before Chemistry.
- 2 people between Mumbai and New Delhi.
- C goes after E.
- F (mathematics) goes before Mumbai.
- History in Punjab after Biology.

Deriving the Solution:
- G can't go on Thursday, so G goes on Friday.
- Thus, B goes on Tuesday, and E goes on Monday.
- D goes on Thursday, followed by Goa.
- G is on Friday, so C is on Wednesday.
- E can't be Geography, so E is Physics.
- C can't be English or Geography, so C is Biology.
- B can't be Biology, so B is History.
- F goes before Mumbai, so F goes to Pune.
- A (English) goes to New Delhi.
- The remaining subject, Chemistry, is for G who goes to Lucknow.

Hence, the expert of Chemistry is the person who has to go to New Delhi (option c).
