Hi Nirmal,

Please find below example for actionsupport with selectlist and get selected value. 

VF Page 
<apex:page controller="ActionSupportTest" showHeader="true">
    <apex:form id="form">
        
        <apex:pageMessages/>
        <apex:selectList value="{!discountScheduleID}" size="1" >
            <apex:actionSupport event="onchange" action="{!calcPricing}" rerender="form"/>
            <apex:selectOptions value="{!schedules}" />
        </apex:selectList>  
        <h1>{!description}</h1><br/>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

Controller: 
public class ActionSupportTest {
    public SelectOption[] getSchedules() {
        return new SelectOption[] { new SelectOption('Value1', 'Option1'), 
            new SelectOption('Value2', 'Option2'), new SelectOption('Value3', 'Option3') };
    }

    public String discountScheduleID { get; set; }
     public String description{ get; set; }
    
    public PageReference calcPricing(){
        if(discountScheduleID == 'Value1')
        {
            description='First';
        }
        if(discountScheduleID == 'Value2')
        {
            description='Second';
        }
        if(discountScheduleID == 'Value3')
        {
            description='Third';
        }
        return null;
    }
}

Let us know if that helps you.

Best Regards,
