Dear Sanjeev,
  Yes, you can combine multiple atom selections together
using boolean operations. There are some examples of using
boolean operators in atom selections, in the VMD user's guide.

Here's a quick cut/pasted example of how they can work:
  (name CA or name CB) and mass 12 to 17

Some user's guide pages of interest are here:

and here:

Let us know if you need more help with this.

Thanks,
  John Stone
