Now what i want is, whenever a condition will satisfy , a new column should be also display in that report otherwise it must be stay as it is.

Previously : a b c d
Now if a=1 : a b z c d

Your Reports version is really old; I never used it and I have no idea whether this (what I'm going to say) exists in this version. Anyway: open Z field's Property Palette window. At the end of properties' list should be "Format Trigger". Put this into the function body:
return (:a = 1);

Format triggers return Boolean. So, IF :A = 1, condition is TRUE and - as function returns TRUE - field Z will be displayed. Otherwise, it won't.
