        });
        console.log("test");

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
*test.html**

     <tbody>
       <tr>
         <td class="question_id" style="width:70%">Q1.  t-shirt coler 
            size</td>
            <td class="question_id" style="width:50%">$ 120.00</td>
            <td><label class="switch">
            input class="wk_checked_question" data-id="2" type="checkbox">
            <span class="check_box round"></span>
            </label>
          </td>
       </tr>
        <tr>
        <td class="question_id" style="width:70%">Q2.  t-shirt size</td>
        <td class="question_id" style="width:50%"> Free</td>
        <td>
          <label class="switch">
           <input class="wk_checked_question" data-id="1" type="checkbox">
           <span class="check_box round"></span>
          </label>
        </td>
           </tr>
         </tbody>

What does `console.log($(".wk_checked_question"))` give you when placed as the first line of doc.ready? "dynamic changes" implies the `.wk_checked_question` is loaded *after* the doc.ready - so you'll need event delegation `$(document).on("click", ".wk_checked_question", function() ...` — freedomn-m, Sep 05 '20 at 11:13

In Odoo you use the `odoo widget pattern` to load your code. you also need to register your javascipt. so to help you we need a clear description of what you need to do. in addition to your entire module code & how you structure your code. — kerbrose, Sep 05 '20 at 16:18

Maybe this is what you are looking for:

$(document).ready(function(){
   $("body").on("click",".wk_checked_question",function(ev){
      $(".wk_checked_question").each((i,cb)=>cb.checked=(cb==this));
      this.checked=true; // a "real" radio button cannot be unchecked ...
   });
});

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<table style="width:500px">
 <tbody>
   <tr>
      <td class="question_id" style="width:70%">Q1.  t-shirt color size</td>
      <td class="question_id" style="width:50%">$ 120.00</td>
      <td><label class="switch"><input class="wk_checked_question" data-id="2" type="checkbox">
         <span class="check_box round"></span></label></td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
     <td class="question_id" style="width:70%">Q2.  t-shirt size</td>
     <td class="question_id" style="width:50%"> Free</td>
     <td>
       <label class="switch">
        <input class="wk_checked_question" data-id="1" type="checkbox">
        <span class="check_box round"></span></label></td>
   </tr>
 </tbody>
</table>

After a click on a checkbox the .each() loop goes over all checkboxes with the same class and sets only the one being identical to the clicked ono (this). All others are unchecked.

I used "delegated event attachment" with jQuery.on() as suggested in @freedomn-m's comment. This has the advantage that it will work on target elements (.wk_checked_question) that don't even exist at the time of the event attachment.

Your HTML was also missing the <table> tags around your <tbody> which I added.

Edit

Coming back to this answer I realized that I could simplify the script even further and allow for an option to be unselected again by using this:

$("body").on("click",".wk_checked_question",function(ev){
 let newstate=this.checked;
 $(".wk_checked_question").prop("checked",false);
 this.checked=newstate
});

Thank You very much sir its really work for me @car10m – Muhammad Arsalan Toor Sep 06 '20 at 01:21 — Muhammad Arsalan Toor, Sep 06 '20 at 01:21
