Hi Vineetha,

Below is the sample code you can change according to your requirements.

Controller
--------------
 
public class MultipleUploadController  
    {     
        //Picklist of tnteger values to hold file count  
        public List<SelectOption> filesCountList {get; set;}  
        //Selected count  
        public String FileCount {get; set;}  
          
        public List<Attachment> allFileList {get; set;}  
          
        public MultipleUploadController(ApexPages.StandardController controller)  
        {  
            //Initialize    
            filesCountList = new List<SelectOption>() ;  
            FileCount = '' ;  
            allFileList = new List<Attachment>() ;  
              
            //Adding values count list - you can change this according to your need  
            for(Integer i = 1 ; i < 11 ; i++)  
                filesCountList.add(new SelectOption(''+i , ''+i)) ;  
        }  
          
        public Pagereference SaveAttachments()  
        {  
            String accId = System.currentPagereference().getParameters().get('Id');  
            if(accId == null || accId == '')  
                ApexPages.addmessage(new ApexPages.message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR,'No record is associated. Please pass record Id in parameter.'));  
            if(FileCount == null || FileCount == '')  
                ApexPages.addmessage(new ApexPages.message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR,'Please select how many files you want to upload.'));  
      
            List<Attachment> listToInsert = new List<Attachment>() ;  
              
            //Attachment a = new Attachment(parentId = accid, name=myfile.name, body = myfile.body);  
            for(Attachment a: allFileList)  
            {  
                if(a.name != '' && a.name != '' && a.body != null)  
                    listToInsert.add(new Attachment(parentId = 'a0728000003FqcD', name = a.name, body = a.body)) ;  
            }  
              
            //Inserting attachments  
            if(listToInsert.size() > 0)  
            {  
                insert listToInsert ;  
                ApexPages.addmessage(new ApexPages.message(ApexPages.Severity.INFO, listToInsert.size() + ' file(s) are uploaded successfully'));  
                FileCount = '' ;  
            }  
            else  
                ApexPages.addmessage(new ApexPages.message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR,'Please select at-least one file'));  
                  
            return null;  
        }  
          
        public PageReference ChangeCount()  
        {  
            allFileList.clear() ;  
            //Adding multiple attachments instance  
            for(Integer i = 1 ; i <= Integer.valueOf(FileCount) ; i++)  
                allFileList.add(new Attachment()) ;  
            return null ;  
        }  
    }
