Anuj, Bhola, Chandan, Dilip, Eswar and Faisal live on different floors in a six-storeyed building (the ground floor is numbered $1$, the floor above it $2$, and so on) Anuj lives on an even-numbered floor, Bhola does not live on an odd numbered floor. Chandan does not live on any of the floors below Faisal's floor. Dilip does not live on floor number $2$. Eswar does not live on a floor immediately above or immediately below Bhola. Faisal lives three floors above Dilip. Which of the following floor-person combinations is correct?

$$\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline \text{} & \text{Anuj} & \text{Bhola} &\text{Chandan} &\text{Dilip} & \text{Eswar} & \text{Faisal} \\\hline \text{(A)} & \text{6} &\text{2} &\text{5} &\text{1} &\text{3} &\text{4} \\\hline \text{(B)} & \text{2} &\text{6} & \text{5}& \text{1} &\text{3} &\text{4}\\\hline \text{(C)} & \text{4} &\text{2} & \text{6} & \text{3} &\text{1} &\text{5}\\\hline \text{(D)} & \text{2} &\text{4} & \text{6} & \text{1} &\text{3} &\text{5}\\\hline \end{array}$$

The best choice would be is to solve using option elimination.

1)Firstly just see that “Faisal lives three floors above Dilip” so option (C) and (D) would be directly eliminated.

2)Secondly this statement “Eswar does not live on a floor immediately above or immediately below Bhola”. this marks option (A) as wrong.

3)Finally we are left with option (B) as answer.

Hope it helps!
