One more easy puzzle...

Last Sunday, four neighbour boys found that work goes more quickly when friends help friends: each of the four had found a job one of the neighbourhood adults, including Mrs. W, needed done, and the four worked together to make fast work of the chores, one of which was cleaning a car.

Given the following clues, you should be able to decide which job each found and for whom the work was done.

1.Three of the friends are Mr. A, the one who found the job mowing the lawn, and the one who got the job from Mr. H.
2. Mr. T didn't have the job staining the backyard fence.
3. Mr. A didn't locate the window-cleaning job.
4. Mr. J isn't the boy who got the chore from Mr. T.
5. Mrs. D didn't have the job cleaning windows; Mr. C isn't the friend who found the window-cleaning task.
6. Mr. H didn't employ the boys as window cleaners. Mr. C isn't the boy who found the lawn-mowing job.
7. Mrs. D isn't the adult who gave Mr. A a job.
8. The chore Mr. I negotiated wasn't cleaning windows.


Answer :

W---> J --> Window cleaning
D---> I --> Lawn mowing
T---> A --> Car cleaning
H---> C --> Fence staining
