I have connected my proximity sensor to the 12v SMPS power supply and signal wire is connected to signal pin of z-min endstops connection of motherhood through 10K resistor.
Further I have checked that initially my voltage was 0v and when my sensor sense the metal , it shows 4.8 V. But when I I give command of M119 in pronterface, it shows me status as "TRIGGERED" both the times. I also invert the status in my configuration from false to true but this time sensor shows the status of "OPEN" both the times.

Kindly help me to resolve this issue.

I believe you must use the probe port, as the endstop has pullups you can't disable.

Also must make sure Z_MIN_PROBE_USES_Z_MIN_ENDSTOP_PIN is disabled
eg //#define Z_MIN_PROBE_USES_Z_MIN_ENDSTOP_PIN
and enable USE_PROBE_FOR_Z_HOMING if not using a real z endstop

use a LM7805 to convert the 12V input you give to the sensor to 5V output and plug that output in Z Axis Endstop pins.

check the attached image....
