Can i use different gateways for lan and wan of different subnet or should i specify gateway only for wan?Help me out.

You only need to define a gateway on the firewall for the WAN connection. As I said already.
Your client PC use the LAN firewall address as THEIR gateway out to the internet, as shown quite clearly on Johnpoz's diagram.
I would suggest you do some research into some basic networking concepts. It would also - as JP says - help hugely if you explained what you were aiming for, rather than ask for help doing something which might not be suitable to your needs.

If you did its no longer a lan but a WAN..

Pfsense lan IP would be the gateway for your lan clients to get off that LAN..

I think you don't quite grasp what a gateway actually is??

What are you trying to do exactly.  Typical setup as muswell explained attached.

So, a very general example coming up…

External (WAN) address: 192.168.1.2. Netmask 255.255.255.0 (/24)
Internal (LAN) address: 10.10.1.1. Netmask 255.255.255.0 (/24)
External (WAN) gateway address: 192.168.1.1 (visible to the 192.168.1.2 address on a /24 subnet)

Your internal address is the gateway for your LAN clients, so you don't have to define this on the firewall. Only in the DHCP parameters, assuming your firewall is dishing out addresses and gateway/DNS info to your LAN - though, again, I have no idea what your present config is like or what you want to do specifically.

Secondly, your WAN gateway address has to be within the same network range as your WAN interface. Taking the example you've given, and assuming that you've masked your network as a Class C (255.255.255.0), if your WAN address is 10.1.2.2 and your gateway is 10.1.1.43, then your WAN address won't be able to see the gateway, since your WAN NIC will only be able to see addresses within the 10.1.2.x range.

I've had to make some broad assumptions here, given the lack of specific details you've provided. In short, check your subnetting and make sure your LAN and WAN address ranges are completely different.
