I have one app created in my dropbox developer console, Currently, this app allows a user to connect the Business account, but I also want enable Individual users to connect their dropbox with my app...

In that case, it sounds like you do want access to both Dropbox Business API functionality (to list and access all members of the team) if it is a Business team, as well the Dropbox API functionality, if it's not a Business account. In that case, yes, you would need to register and use two apps: a Dropbox Business API app as well as a Dropbox API app.

You mean I will have to create two apps in my app console? One for Individual users and one for Business users

This depends on what piece(s) of functionality you want exactly. Can you elaborate on what you want to build?
For example, if you just want to interact with the files in the end-user's account, you just need one "Dropbox API" app with the "app folder" or "full Dropbox" permission. That can be used by both Business and non-Business accounts.

Okay let me explain what my app is doing, If a user has a business account and they signup into my app then my app would store the information of all team members to provide multi-user sign-in functionality, and all user should be able to interact with files and folders on dropbox, but if a user has an individual account then there will be simple file interaction of a single user.
Basically, if a user have a business account My app will surely make use of business API but if it's an individual user account it will make simple use of Dropbox API
