Verbal Reasoning - Seating Arrangement - Discussion

According to me, JHLMPSRT is the correct order. So option C is the correct option.

The right answer is D.

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

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.

JHLMPSRT is the correct order.

JHLMPTRS is the correct sequence.

We can not confirm the position of Taud, Siman and Jack!

So, the answer is "can't be determined".

The way I ordered this from house index = 1 to 8:
J/S -> R -> J/S -> P -> M -> H -> L -> T (last).

Reason:
1. Paul lives in one of the two houses in the middle = This is my immediate focus, place P in the middle: 8/2 = index 4, as anchor.
2. Jack is not the neighbour Siman = J and S cannot be next to each other
3. Harry is just next to the left of Larry = xxx -> P -> xxx -> H -> L.
4. There is at least one to the left of Larry.
5. Mike lives in between Paul and Larry = xxx -> P -> M-> H -> L.
6. At least one lives to the right of Robert = xxx -> R -> P -> M-> H -> L.
7. Harry is not between Taud and Larry = xxx -> R -> P -> M-> H -> L => T (T must be the end of right-tail).
8. Back to statement (2) above: J/S -> R -> J/S -> P -> M-> H -> L => T.

A: All choices are correct except (C) "Taud is in between Paul and Jack".

Let's break down the information step by step:

Jack is not the neighbor 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.

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;

* Jack
* Harry
* Larry
* Mike
* Paul
* Siman
* Robert
* Taud
