Thank you,
But i need to do it ,using mel script . Not manually.
Can you help me.

this information is stored in userPrefs.mel file in your default maya location (depending on your OS)

just look for this line -sv "preferredRenderer" "mentalRay"

Thank you very much.
Now i am able to do that.

setAttr( "defaultRenderGlobals.currentRenderer" ) -typ "string" "mentalRay";
optionVar -sv preferredRenderer "mentalRay";

This is the way i did.
