Solution 1

Method 1:

C#

@Html.ListBox(m => m.Names, (IEnumerable<SelectListItem>)(new[] { new SelectListItem() { Value = "1",Text="Abc",Selected=true }}))

Method 2:

C#

@Html.ListBoxFor(m => m.Names, new SelectList(new listName_With_Id()(), "Id", "Name", "9"), new { Class = "ControlName"})

Here Id with 9 will be selected.

Oh am so sorry, with jquery suppose the structure is
<select multiple="true">
<option value="1">Option 1</option>
<option value="2">Option 2</option>
<option value="3">Option 3</option>
<option value="4">Option 4</option>
</select>

then it can be selected like below
$("select option[value=2]").attr("selected", true);

incase if it is multiple selection like i have mentioned it in html code, you can repeat the values as shown below.
$("select option[value=2]").attr("selected", true);
$("select option[value=4]").attr("selected", true);
