According to me, the right answer is D.
Harry, Larry, Mike, Paul, Taud, Jack, Robert and Simon.
Because, Here: 1. Jack is not the neighbour of Simon.
2. Harry is just next to the left of Harry.
3. There is at least one to the left of Lorry.
4. Paul lives in one of the two houses in the middle.(That means definitely 4th house because they are a total 8 members.)
5. Mike lives in b/w Paul and Larry
6. If at least one lives to the right of Robert and Harry is not b/w Taud and Larry.
So, the answer is definitely D. it is not the correct statement. Because there is Four people to the right of Paul.
Harry, Larry, Mike, Paul, Taud, Jack, Robert and Simon.
Because, Here: 1. Jack is not the neighbour of Simon.
2. Harry is just next to the left of Harry.
3. There is at least one to the left of Lorry.
4. Paul lives in one of the two houses in the middle.(That means definitely 4th house because they are a total 8 members.)
5. Mike lives in b/w Paul and Larry
6. If at least one lives to the right of Robert and Harry is not b/w Taud and Larry.
So, the answer is definitely D. it is not the correct statement. Because there is Four people to the right of Paul.

Let's break down the information step by step:
Jack is not the neighbour of Simon.
Harry is just to the left of Larry.
→ (Harry, Larry) is a fixed pair.
There is at least one to the left of Larry.
→ Larry is not the first person.
Paul lives in one of the two middle houses.
→ Paul is in position 4 or 5.
Mike lives between Paul and Larry.
→ The order is (Paul, Mike, Larry) or (Larry, Mike, Paul).
At least one person lives to the right of Robert.
→ Robert is not the last person.
Harry is not between Taud and Larry.
By Analyzing the options:
Robert is not at the left end – Correct (since there’s someone to his right).
Robert is in between Simon and Taud – Possibly based on placement.
Taud is in between Paul and Jack – This cannot be true because Mike must be between Paul and Larry, leaving no room for Taud.
There are three persons to the right of Paul – Possible if Paul is in position 4.
So, The incorrect statement is: "Taud is in between Paul and Jack".
Jack is not the neighbour of Simon.
Harry is just to the left of Larry.
→ (Harry, Larry) is a fixed pair.
There is at least one to the left of Larry.
→ Larry is not the first person.
Paul lives in one of the two middle houses.
→ Paul is in position 4 or 5.
Mike lives between Paul and Larry.
→ The order is (Paul, Mike, Larry) or (Larry, Mike, Paul).
At least one person lives to the right of Robert.
→ Robert is not the last person.
Harry is not between Taud and Larry.
By Analyzing the options:
Robert is not at the left end – Correct (since there’s someone to his right).
Robert is in between Simon and Taud – Possibly based on placement.
Taud is in between Paul and Jack – This cannot be true because Mike must be between Paul and Larry, leaving no room for Taud.
There are three persons to the right of Paul – Possible if Paul is in position 4.
So, The incorrect statement is: "Taud is in between Paul and Jack".
