Seema:

Use an index, obviously. If and index exists, ensure that the query uses it. The select columns order should match the order of the index columns. Or try using a HINT.
Sometimes a full scan is not a bad thing. Are there less than 100,000 rows in the table? Sometimes the optimizer will execute a full table scan because it is faster that way.
