I don't think so. All public methods are by default always available to the deriving classes. You can try creating both methods as virtual and then override the ones that you need in each child class. Just make sure not to call the non-overridden methods because they would still be available.

Can you please tell me whether I can access private class member function into another class or child class?

The private members are known only in the current type.

Not the way you have written it. What you want to do is a little backwards in your thinking.
Public methods in your base class will be available to all classes which inherit from it.
If you need a method to be available only to a specific child, then you must define that method only in that class and not the base.
Note that your naming convention is a little strange. See my example for what I think you are aiming at.
For example:

C#

public class Base
{
   public void Method1(){ Console.WriteLine("Method 1 called."); }
   abstract void Method2();
}
public class Hide : Base
{
   // Method1 is available because of inheritance
   // Method2 must be overriden in this class because it has been defined in base as abstract
   public override void Method2(){ Console.WriteLine("Method 2 called in Hide."); }
   // Method3 is only available in Hide
   public void Method3(){ Console.WriteLine("Method 3 called."); }
}
public class Child : Base
{
   // Method1 is available because of inheritance
   // Method2 must be overriden in this class because it has been defined in base as abstract
   public override void Method2(){ Console.WriteLine("Method 2 called in Child."); }
   // Method4 is only available in Child
   public void Method4(){ Console.WriteLine("Method 3 called."); }
}
