A diamond is on the left of a spade. An eight is on the right of a king. A ten is on the left of heart. A heart is on the left of a spade.

From the first three statements, we can clearly observe the following:

The rightmost card cannot be a diamond or a heart or an king or a ten.

So, obviously the rightmost card has to be a Eight Of Spades.

Now from the second and fourth statements it is clear that the card in the middle is none other than the King Of Hearts leaving the leftmost card to be the Ten Of Diamonds.

So, the order of the three playing cards from left to right are:

Ten Of Diamonds, King Of Hearts, Eight Of Spades.
