No, according to the question description the house order is :

Jack - Robert - Taud - Paul- Mike- Larry - Harry - Simon

So the answer according to given options is Option B.

Robert is in between Taud and Simon.

Confusion may arise between the correctness of B/C, but B can be true or false depending upon the two arrangements that I have posted. But C can never hold true if we satisfy all conditions given in the question.

According to my analysis, this will be the correct order:

Harry-Larry-Mike-Paul-Taud-Jack-Robert-Siman.

Following this order, the correct answer will be Option D as there are four persons to the right of Paul.

Correct pattern is: S-H-L-M-P-R-J-T.

Because, given that at least one to the left of L and at least one to the right of R.

So, more than one to the left of L and more than one to the right of R.

Answer is C.

In above comments arrangement is.

JHLMPTRS.

I think, it is correct arrangement but this is according to options but in exam we can not predict according to option. So I think not sufficient data.
