If a assessee sells a residential property and buys a new residential property.Is he eligible to claim exemption under section 54and/or 54F and/or 54EC?Whether the answer will change in case the assessee has claimed depreciation on the said property?

I dont see any reason for rejection of exemption on account of asset being a depreciable asset.
