First have a look at the docs and then come back with your best atempt
and explain what does not work about it.
However, are you sure you want to use select_tag rather than using
form_for and f.select?  There are occasions when using form_tag and
select_tag is appropriate but if possible then use form_for.

If you have not already done so then work right through a tutorial
such as railstutorial.org which is free to use online and will show
you the basics of rails.

<%=select_tag "people", "<option>David</option>".html_safe%>



But here name and id of select_tag is same(people), i want to know how 
to give it seprately

OK, I understand.  I don't know of a way to do that.  Why do you need 
it?

Hi colin,
            we can name to select _tag in rails 3 like,
<%=select_tag "people", 
"<option>David</option>".html_safe,{:name=>{'sample'}}%>
