Step-by-Step Solution

Sameer 7, Pallavi 4, Tanvi 3, Waseem 2. Qadir must be on 6 (2 is taken, 8 leaves no room for Varun above), so Umesh 5, Varun 8 and Rohini 1. Floors 1 to 8: Rohini, Waseem, Tanvi, Pallavi, Umesh, Qadir, Sameer, Varun. Umesh is on floor 5, so Pallavi (floor 4) lives immediately below him.
