It is not solved my problem.
my code is like as

   FlashCardsManager.instance.PlayTappingAudio ();

    ShowAppreciation {
    audio.clip = appreciationClip;
    audio.PlayOneShot (appreciationClip);

Here “FlashCardsManager” is another script file.While running this code both audios are playing simultaniously.

Any one help me on this to wait some time

You should read up in Coroutines. Here is the Unity tutorial. You can use yield within a coroutine to determine at what points the coroutine execution will pause and be resumed the next frame.

You could do something like this:

[SerializeField]
private AudioSource audioSource;
[SerializeField]
private AudioClip appreciationClip;
[SerializeField]
private AudioClip afterAppreciationClip;

void PlayAudio() {
    StartCoroutine(PlayAudioClip());
}

IEnumerator PlayAudioClip() {
    audioSource.clip = appreciationClip;
    audioSource.Play();
    while (audioSource.isPlaying) {
        // do nothing and keep returning while audio is still playing
        yield return null;
    }

    // wait a bit before playing next clip
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(5.0f);

    audioSource.clip = afterAppreciationClip;
    audioSource.Play();
}

Try this:

audio.clip = appreciationClip;
audio.Play (appreciationClip);

and in Update:

if(!audio.IsPlaying() && audio.clip == appreciationClip)
{
    audio.clip = null; 
    // or audio.clip = otherclip
    //audio.Play();
}

Yield is used in coroutines. Take a look at this article:
