From the statements v can conclude that Druggist and grocer are neighbours bcoz........acc. to statements policemen and druggist are not neighbours and......also butcher goes to work by walk...so butcher also eliminated from being one of the neighbour........from 6th statement v can also conclude that policemen and grocer cannot b the neighbours................hence druggist and grocer are neighbours.........
nw from 3rd statement v can also conclude that Smith is policemen and mason is butcher......coz policemen earns more than both druggist and grocer.................and according to 2nd statement jones earns more than mason.............nw policemen is smith and butcher is mason......v left with clark and jones...........now according to 6th & 7th statement v can conclude that clark is druggist and jones is grocer as it is given that policemen doesn't know the grocer and clark and smith i.e policemen plays bowling together.Hence v can said that clark is druggist and jones is grocer................
hope it helps!!!
