Hi Ridhima,
We don't have an example of doing iBeacon with the eddystone application. However I don't see any reason it wouldn't work. Note that the softdevice can do only one advertising data packet at a time, so you need to switch between the 2 protocol.
You can have a look here to know how to change the advertising data dynamically: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/short-range-guides/b/bluetooth-low-energy/posts/how-to-update-advertising-data-dynamically-using-ble-advertising-library

actually i want to add ibeacon slot in the code of eddystone so that i can choose the slot and advertise ibeacon frame
You may need to modify the eddystone quite a lot to change the slot to iBeacon. I would suggest to think of following the tutorial. You would need to stop the eddystone advertising and switch to iBeacon advertising.
