I got the answer if we are using sql plus then we need use spool to get data into csv format. Below is the steps...(don't forget to spool off after execution of query. )

SQL> set colsep ,
SQL> set headsep off
SQL> set pagesize 0
SQL> set trimspool on
SQL> spool /tmp/data.csv
SQL> select * from test;
-----------------(we cant placed the data)
10 rows selected.

SQL> spool off
