My server configuration is as follows

1) centos 7
2) apache 2.4.6

i have configuration file abc.conf in /etc/httpd.conf.d and its content is as follows

def.com is main domain and abc.def.com is subdomain.

<VirtualHost X.X.X.X:80> (X.X.X.X is server IP)
ServerAdmin abc@def.com
ServerName abc.def.com
ServerAlias www.abc.def.com

Now I mapped another domain pqrs.in to X.X.X.X IP in domain control panel and didn't write any virtual host file for apache.

But when I open pqrs.in in browser it automatically redirects to pqrs.in/administration which is not intended. how can i stop this and avoid redirection and show nothing in the browser for pqrs.in

You should create the vhost pqrs.in, or else apache uses the first vhost it finds as the default one.

Oh.!

Thanks for the reply. So you say it is must to write vhost file for pqrs.in. Is there any other way.?

Yes, you can try the following, but it's always better define a different vhost.
