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.
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.

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".
J/S -> R -> J/S -> P -> M -> H -> L -> T (last).
