Answers : A : True , B : True , C : True , D : False

3rd Arrangement : Harry Larry Mike Paul Jack Robert Simon Taud
Answers : A : True , B : False , C : False , D : False

4th Arrangement : Harry Larry Mike Paul Robert Jack Taud Simon
Answers : A : True , B : False , C : False , D : False

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.

The arrangement should be in:

harry, taud, larry, mike, paul, siman, robert, jack.

The conditions are:

1. Jack is not the neighbour Siman.
2. Harry is just next to the left of Larry.
3. There is at least one to the left of Larry.
4. Paul lives in one of the two houses in the middle.
5. Mike lives in between Paul and Larry.
6. one lives to the right of Robert that is jack.
7. Harry is not between Taud and Larry so taud is between them.


so (c) is incorrct.

The following conditions can be:

H L M P J T R S
H L M P J R T S
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
J H L M P R T S
S H L M P J R T
In this arrangements, there are 3 people at the right of paul...

Hence, in this arrangement, all the conditions are being satisfied.

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.

The trick here is to assemble the line of names in such a way that all of the conditions are satisfied. As I did that, I found more than 1 answers correct, so I changed the pattern by complying to the conditions and at the same time, trying to get a single option as the correct answer.

I got it as : H L M T P J R S.

I think many correct patterns are possible and readjusting gives a final single solution and that would be option C.

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.

Jack is not the neighbour Siman S_J_S.

Harry is just next to the left of Larry. H L.

There is at least one to the left of Larry. - - H L.

Paul lives in one of the two houses in the middle. - - - P P - - -.

Mike lives in between Paul and Larry. H L M P P J - S.

If at least one lives to the right of Robert H L M P - J R S.

And Harry is not between Taud and Larry H L M P T J R S.

I got the same answer.

The correct arrangement according to question will be:
RHLMPJTS.

It satisfies all conditions given.
1. At least on person to the right of R.
2. J is not neighbour of S.
3. P is in one of the middle houses.
4. H is to the immediate left of L.
5. M is the neighbour of L and P.
6. At least on is to the left of L.
7. H IS NOT BETWEEN L AND T.

So, answer is A. (Bcz R is to the left end of Row)

This can be arranged in many ways:
According to the conditions given just keep in mind 3 things
1. HLMP are together and P is either of the centres.
2.J and S are not neighbours.
3. R is not at the right end.

In each of the arrangements, you will see T is not in between P and J.
RHLMPJTS or RHLMPSTJ or RHLMPJTS.
JHLMPRST or JHLMPSRT.
SHLMPRTJ or SHLMTRJ.
