Let's analyze each option:

1. Abhay is fourth to the right of Eishwar.

⇒ Counting four positions to the right of Eishwar, we get: Eishwar → Faizal → Chetan → Abhay.

This statement is true.

2. Bhanu is to the immediate left of Devendra.

⇒ Looking at the arrangement, Bhanu is indeed to the immediate left of Devendra.

This statement is true.

3. Faizal is third to the right of Devendra.

⇒ Counting three positions to the right of Devendra, we get: Devendra → Gurnam → Abhay → Chetan. Faizal is not third to the right of Devendra.

This statement is false.

4. Gurnam is to the immediate right of Devendra.

⇒ Looking at the arrangement, Gurnam is indeed to the immediate right of Devendra.

This statement is true.

∴ The false statement is: Faizal is third to the right of Devendra.
