At least "ONE" means at a minimum one one, there can be more than one so condition number 3 and 6 must be changed and the word at least one must be replaced with ONE to get the answer.

Other wise there are too many possible answers as @ Global baba mentioned.

Still, this gives many possible arrangements but satisfies the answer as "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.

Possible combinations according to the question are:.

1. HHLMPTJRS.
2. HLMPTSRJ.
3. HLMPJTRS.
4. HLMPJSRT.
5. HLMPSTRJ.
6. HLMPSJRT.

But all answers cannot be true or more than one answer can't be true so WE WILL SEE THAT HLMPTSRJ have only one answer true.

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:
