Adding to what @Bhanupriya explained HLMPJRST AND HLMPSRJT are possible so in any condition option 4 can't be a correct statement to make thus, option 4 is the answer.

Answer is d because there always 4 people right to P.

Possible combinations according to question are:

1. HHLMPTJRS.

2. HLMPTSRJ.

3. HLMPJTRS.

4. HLMPJSRT.

5. HLMPSTRJ.

6. HLMPSJRT.

So only option incorrect is D.

There is a confusion between the statement 2 and statement 5. If harry lives just next to left of Larry then how mike comes in between Paul and Larry. These statements are unclear.
