Hi @ali.raza16922597,  
and welcome on the ODK community forum. When you get a chance please take some time to [introduce yourself here](https://forum.getodk.org/t/introduce-yourself-here/6671)

What you want to achieve is quite simple and need the use of choice\_filter expression.

Add a criteria column (ie _gender_) to your choices sheet.  
For the ten first options fill this column with "male" and "female" to the others option.  
In your survey sheet, for your Q2 (select\_one or select\_mutiple) you'll need to specify a choice\_filter :

> gender=${Q1}
