The circuit is attached with. At input 1 I am getting output frequency of 100 Hz. Now if my INPUT 2 come i should get output frequency of 50Hz.

Consider a small relay that when activated by the 50Hz signal will add another capacitor in parallel with C5 .. see attached picture ..
Another option is using similar relay change the value of R18 ..
Any of the above options can be used to select/change frequency from 50Hz to 100Hz or the other way around ..

Rgds,
