I think i found my answer with this vf code:- 
<apex:page standardController="Account" sidebar="false">
<apex:form >
<apex:pageBlock >
   <apex:pagemessages />
   <apex:pageBlockSection id="pm" columns="1" title="Dependent Text">
        <!-- Your picklist Field -->
        <apex:inputField value="{!Account.Status__c}">
        <apex:actionSupport event="onchange" rerender="pm"  status="status"/>
        </apex:inputField>
        <apex:panelGrid id="stdterm" rendered="{!Account.Status__c=='Other'}" >
        <!-- Comment text field appear when picklist value= 'Other' -->
        <apex:outputText >Comments &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<apex:inputField value="{!Account.Comments__c}"/></apex:outputText>
        </apex:panelGrid>
   </apex:pageBlockSection>
