customerno products
1001 mobile
1002 chair
1001 table
1004 dress
1005 fan
1002 chair

i need a query to display different customerno with products

in that result no need to repeat(duplicate) the customerno

for example:
i need result as

customerno products
1001 mobile
1002 chair
1004 dress
1005 fan
1003 cycle

Doesn't make much sense to me. Why is 1001 mobile the expected output and not 1001 table. What I try to say is the second column is useless in the output you desire, as no-one know if the customer has 0 or more other products only that, that the customer has that particular product.

that said you can do it with a nested select statement where you take only the first row, so something like this:
SQL
SELECT customerno, (select TOP 1 products from myTable where customerno = t.customerno) as products from myTable t group by customerno


However I would think that you should get all the products
(e.g. 1001 mobile, table) so I would personally do something like this:
SQL
SELECT customerno,
       REPLACE(RTRIM((SELECT [products] + ' ' FROM myTable
                      WHERE customerno = t.customerno) FOR XML PATH (''))),' ',', ') AS products
FROM myTable t GROUP BY customerno
