You can use dependant picklist for that. See the article below :

Thanks for ur response.
If we use field dependency we can make visualble of 'B' picklist related values depends on 'A' picklist values, then we have to select manually.
But here my requriement is, 'B' picklist value has to be popup automatically as per value selected in 'A' picklist.

Is your requirement only for users (UI) or loaded data as well ?
If you have only one possible value of B for every values of A and B is required then it should work fine for UI.
if it is for loaded data as well, you have 2 options depending of the number of values in your picklists.
- option 1: if you do not have a lot of value
you can have a workflow that will populate B based on the value of A.
-option 2 : if you have a lot of values and workflow is not enougth
you'll have to create a custom setting for the dependencies between A and B values and populate B based on A by trigger using the custom setting

Both A and B having multiple values.
Yes, we can achieve this by writting trigger.
please share, does you have sample code for this scenario.
