It's also possible.

According to this correct answer is C.

Its not possible to get a complete solution for this question as the puzzle is incomplete, all we can do is assumptions, and here if you try to place Taud between Paul and jack it contradicts the 1st statement. So its the only option we can prove wrong where as others still got a possibility.

See, you all, @Ardentgirl can be right but there is much confusion about the seats of Robert, Taud, Jack and Simon.

The question gives more than one correct arrangement. So the options given are ambiguous.

H L M P J T R S also possible so answer B also correct.

There are many combinations :

1) J H L M P T R S
2) H L M P J T R S
3) H L M P T J R S
4) H L M P S T R J ----> Satisfy the (iii) option.
5) H L M P T S R J ----> Satisfy the (iii) option.

So finally some data are missing , means : DATA INADEQUATE:

Harry, Larry, Mike, Paul, Jack, Taud, Robert, and Simran.

Points are given as;

1. Jack and Simran, not a neighbor.
2. Larry has at least one left to Larry so it is in left.
3. Mike lives in between Paul and Larry and also in the middle houses..
4. If at least one lives to the right of Robert which is Simran then obvious Taud and Larry are not in between..

So, as per the statement Taud is in between Paul and Jack.
