We can have a different return type of method in C # polymorphism

What you are talking about is method overloading; not polymorphism. And you can; with one caveat:
Overloaded methods cannot differ only in return type.
With polymorphism, all parameters and return type must match.
Method overloading occurs when you give two methods the same name:
public void MyMethod(string arg) { }
public int MyMethod(string arg, int arg2) { return 0; }
Polymorphism occurs when you override a base class function, but you must keep the same signature:
public class A
{
public void MyMethod(string arg)
{ }
}
public class B : A
{
public override void MyMethod(string arg)
{ }
}
