What is the % of time waiting these event? You didn't show us your statspack report so we can't know.

90% of hit is a clue of bad SQL -> point 3, tune these SQL

We r monitorning the database using third party tool(QCO)

so wait event is cont.... and variant time to time like 13 to 75

also buffer cache hit ratio some time goes 90% to 95% but most of the time it's 98% to 99%

kindly suggest

This is even worse.
Now it is sure you have very bad tuned SQL.
Or you execute many times the same queries or fetch one row at a time, and have a bad tuned application.
