    Common Explanation:

    References:

    Pappu lives on the floor numbered five.
    Only two people live between Pappu and Karan.
    Karan lives above Pappu.
     
    Inference:
     

    Floor Number Name
    8 Karan
    7  
    6  
    5 Pappu
    4  
    3  
    2  
    1  

     
    References:

    Teena lives immediately above Rashmi. Only one person lives between Teena and Aniket.
    Teena lives above Aniket.
     
    Inference:

    Clearly, we can’t place Teena immediately below Karan. So, two cases are possible.
     
    Case I:
     

    Floor Number Name
    8 Karan
    7  
    6  
    5 Pappu
    4 Teena
    3 Rashmi
    2 Aniket
    1  


    Case II:
     

    Floor Number Name
    8 Karan
    7  
    6  
    5 Pappu
    4  
    3 Teena
    2 Rashmi
    1 Aniket

     
    Reference:

    Vinod lives immediately above Suraj.

    Inference:
     
    Case I:
     

    Floor Number Name
    8 Karan
    7 Vinod
    6 Suraj
    5 Pappu
    4 Teena
    3 Rashmi
    2 Aniket
    1  


    Case II:
     

    Floor Number Name
    8 Karan
    7 Vinod
    6 Suraj
    5 Pappu
    4  
    3 Teena
    2 Rashmi
    1 Aniket

     
     
    Reference:

    Urmila lives on an odd-numbered floor.
     
    Inference:

    As in Case II only even numbered floor is left to be filled, hence, Case II becomes invalid.
     
    So, Urmila must be living on 1st floor.
     
    Case I:
     

    Floor no. Name
    8 Karan
    7 Vinod
    6 Suraj
    5 Pappu
    4 Teena
    3 Rashmi
    2 Aniket
