Hi Kiran,
  Please try this XSL -

<?xml version="1.0"?> 
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
version="1.0">
 
<xsl:output method="text" /> 

<xsl:template match="/Parent">
   <xsl:for-each select="node">
     <xsl:if test="(position() mod 2) = 0">
       group <xsl:value-of select="position() div 2" /> - <xsl:value-of 
select="preceding-sibling::node[1]" />,<xsl:value-of select="." />
     </xsl:if>
     <xsl:if test="((position() mod 2) != 0) and (position() = last())">
       group <xsl:value-of select="floor((position() div 2) + 1)" /> - 
<xsl:value-of select="." />
     </xsl:if>
   </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
