Eight Persons: $P, Q, R, S, U, W, X and V

1) P lives on a floor that is numbered with a number which is a perfect square and has decorated the floor with Cherry Blossom flowers.

2) The ground floor is decorated with flowers of Lily.

So, P lives on Floor number 4 and is decorated with Cherry Blossom Flowers.

3) As many people live above the floor decorated with Daisy flowers as many live below the floor decorated with flowers of Lavender.

4) There is one floor between the floors which are decorated with Lily and Daisy.
