According to given question Jerome + Tommy = Albert + David eq.(1) ; Jerome < Tommy eq. (3)
Albert + Tommy < David + jerome eq. (2)
Now adding above two equations we will get
2Jerome > 2Albert
or Jerome > Albert
or Tommy > Jerome > Albert ( from eq.(3) )
Now David should earn most pocket money as to hold equation (2) to be true.
Hence David > Tommy > Jerome > Albert.
