Hi Umesha,

Please find the sample code below and tweak it as per your requirement.

Use Case: I have a picklist field with values 'yes' and 'No' I want to show this field as radio buttons on my VF page. i.e. one radio button for yes and one for no. and at a time only one can be selected

Note that type__c is my picklist field.
 
Use following method to get options for radio button on page
controller code: 
public List<SelectOption> getTypes(){
            Schema.sObjectType sobject_type = customObject__c.getSObjectType();
            Schema.DescribeSObjectResult sobject_describe = sobject_type.getDescribe();
            Map<String, Schema.SObjectField> field_map = sobject_describe.fields.getMap();
          
            List<Schema.PicklistEntry> pick_list_values = field_map.get('type__c').getDescribe().getPickListValues();
            List<selectOption> options = new List<selectOption>();
           for (Schema.PicklistEntry a : pick_list_values) {
                      options.add(new selectOption(a.getLabel(), a.getValue()));
          }
      return options;
 
to use this on page:
 
<apex:selectRadio value="{!customObject__c.Type__c}">
                    <apex:selectoptions value="{!types}"></apex:selectoptions>
 </apex:selectRadio>
Hope this helps.
