Now I am trying to boot it from USB but while I press option or C it doesn’t boot from the usb that is perfectly dmg file loaded for installation[SF1] .. The recovery hd only appears. no startup disk. But when I choose startup disk after booting, the startup disk doesn’t load anything to show. What is the problem? How can I solve this?

From your description it sounds like you have a DMG file on the external drive. The Mac can not boot from a DMG file.
If you want to boot from an external drive, that drive must be properly formatted and have the Mac OS properly installed on it. How to install OS X on an external drive connected to your Mac - Apple Support
