Given: A, F, J, K, P and Q live on six different floors of the same building. The lowermost floor in the building is numbered 1, the floor above it, number 2 and so on till the topmost floor is numbered 6. 

1) Only two people lives between F and P.

2) K lives immediately above P.

3) F lives on an odd numbered floor below P. 

Floor Person
6  
5 K
4 P
3  
2  
1 F

4) Q lives immediately above J.

After positioning Q and J only one position is left which will be occupied by the only person left i.e. A.

Floor Person
6 A
5 K
4 P
3 Q
2 J
1 F

Thus, according to the final arrangement five people live below A.

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.
