Verbal Reasoning - Seating Arrangement - Discussion

From Left to Right, the correct order is;
1. Jack
2. Harry
3. Larry
4. Mike
5. Paul
6. Taud
7. Robert
8. Simon.

I think the correct arrangement, as per my knowledge is;

Simon, Harry, Larry, Mike, Paul, Jack, Robert, Taud.

if we start from the left the sequence can be like;

1. Jack
2. Robert
3. Paul
4. Mike
5. Harry
6. Larry
7. Taud
8. Simon

Correct me, If I am wrong.

Basically, the given answer is wrong, it should be option (D) because when we arrange Paul at the 5th house from left. The arrangement is not possible as it clashes with the condition "Harry not between Taud and Larry ".

So arrangement should be that Larry should be placed in the 4th position from left, and one of the possible conditions/arrangements is:.

HLMPTJRS, so according to this arrangment taud can be between Paul and Jack. So please modify the option accordingly.

Option C is correct.

The arrangement is JHLMPSRT. This is the correct order.

Here jack is not a neighbour of Simon. Harry is just left to Larry. There is atleast one to the left of Larry which means there should be one or more persons to the left of Larry. Here Paul lives in one of the two middle houses, Total of eight houses, 4th and 5th will be the middle houses. Paul can either live in 4th or 5th. I assume that he Lives in 5th house in order to get the prompt answer. Here Mike lives between Paul and Larry. Then if you read the following, Option C will not be correct. The question was asked to find out the wrong one. The other 3is correct but option C is wrong. So, Option C is the answer.

According to me,JRSPMHLT also satisfies all the conditions.

RHLMPJTS is the correct order.

According to me "JHLMPSRT" is the correct order.

Could someone please explain the correct order of arrangement?

The correct order is;

H L M P J S R T.
