Verbal Reasoning - Seating Arrangement - Discussion

According to me; HLMPJTRS is the correct order.

R H L M P J T S is the correct order.

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".

The correct order is H L M P S T R J.

Basically, the given answer is wrong, it should be option (D) because when we arrange Paul at the 5th house from left. The arrangement is not possible as it clashes with the condition "Harry not between Taud and Larry ".

So arrangement should be that Larry should be placed in the 4th position from left, and one of the possible conditions/arrangements is:.

HLMPTJRS, so according to this arrangment taud can be between Paul and Jack. So please modify the option accordingly.

The correct order is: JHLMPTRS.

To me this question looks incomplete because we need some more information to correctly judge the position of Taud, Jack, and Simmon
like if we solve the question from the above given information, there are more than one arrangement possible, and all arrangements lead to different answers
for eg: H L M P J T R S, the answer from this arrangement matches the answer given
but H L M P T J R S arrangement also satisfies all the conditions given, which means this is also a possible arrangement, but the answer from this option is (B) or none of these.

There are multiple sequences that can satisfy the conditions given in the questions, like
RHLMPJTS.
HLMPJTRS.
So, the answer may get different.

Jack - Robert - Siman - Taud - Paul - Mike - Larry - Harry is the correct order.

HLMPTJRS.

The right answer is C.
