Verbal Reasoning - Seating Arrangement - Discussion

Please give the answer descriptions.

Give the brief description.

Based on the Question given it can be stated that it is not clear in which position can J, S be either 1st Or 3rd but what can be Drafted is J R S P M H L T or S R J P M H L T ( can be Confirmed) and when checking with the options a, b, c, d.

A is absolutely correct, B cannot be stated whether correct or Incorrect, D is correct, but C is absolutely incorrect because Taud is at the end and they want us to find which is not correct that is Option C.

Harry-larry-mike-paul-taud-jack-robert-siman.

This is the arrangement of above question.

HJLMTRS or RTS.

Yes, right @Mahesh.

This can be:
H L M P T J R S.

H L M P J T R S is correct answer.

@ALL.

Here we have to consider both question and options. Let's check it step-by-step.

There are 8 people:
Jack, Siman, Harry, Larry, Paul, Mike, Robert and Taud.

1. Jack is not the neighbor Siman.
Jack will not be left or right of Siman.
2. Harry is just next to the left of Larry.
HL
3. There is at least one to the left of Larry.
Means one or more persons be left of Larry.
4. Paul lives in one of the two houses in the middle.
Paul will be in either 4th house or 5th house.
5. Mike lives between Paul and Larry.
LMP
As Harry is next to the left of Larry, we can make it as HLMP.
If at least one lives to the right of Robert.
Means one or more persons be right of Robert.
Harry is not between Taud and Larry.
Please keep it in mind.

Now the possible arrangements are:
(i) HLMPJTRS
(ii) HLMPTJRS
(iii) JHLMPTRS
(iv) JHLMPSRT
(v) JHLMPRST
(vi) SHLMPRJT
(vii) SHLMPRTJ

Let's check these possible arrangements with options.

[A]. Robert is not at the left end.
Each and every arrangement looks good with this option.

[B]. Robert is in between Siman and Taud.
Only (i), (iii) and (iv) is possible with this option.

[C]. Taud is in between Paul and Jack.
In the selected three arrangements no one satisfies this option.

[D]. There are three persons to the right of Paul.
Only (iii) and (iv) is possible with this option.

By this, the arrangement may be (iii) JHLMPTRS or (iv) JHLMPSRT.
Option [C]. does not satisfy by these arrangements, so the incorrect statement is [C].

So, Answer is [C]. Taud is in between Paul and Jack.

The possible order can be HLMPTJRS.

It is not necessary for L to have more than one because its written atleast.
