The following conditions can be:

H L M P T J R S ----- Taud is in between paul and jack
H L M P R J T S
H L M P S T R J
H L M P S R T J ---- Robert is between Simon and Taud.
H L M P T S R J

Now another set of combinations:-
R H L M P J T S

In this arrangements, there are 3 people at the right of paul...

Option C is correct.

The arrangement is JHLMPSRT. This is the correct order.

Here jack is not a neighbour of Simon. Harry is just left to Larry. There is atleast one to the left of Larry which means there should be one or more persons to the left of Larry. Here Paul lives in one of the two middle houses, Total of eight houses, 4th and 5th will be the middle houses. Paul can either live in 4th or 5th. I assume that he Lives in 5th house in order to get the prompt answer. Here Mike lives between Paul and Larry. Then if you read the following, Option C will not be correct. The question was asked to find out the wrong one. The other 3is correct but option C is wrong. So, Option C is the answer.

Jack and Siman are not neighbours, So right end Siman and left end jack.

At least, one person left of larry means is one or more than one therefore after Jack Harry Larry.

3. Mike is in between larry and paul, therefore, Jack, Harry Larry mike paul and this answer also satisfy the condition of Paul occupying one of the middle houses.

4. Considering Robert there at least one person's right of Robert therefore the order is Robert, Taud, Siman. Therefore correct sequence is;

J H L M P R T S.
