My requirement is ..

If i choose No(Say cell A3) from the dropdown,certain cells of the corresponding row have to be disabled(Say C3,E3 and J3)

What kind of drop down are you referring to?

I created a dropdown using Data-->Validation-->List where List is the list of values(Yes and No) stored in some other cells.
