I don't know precisely what you mean by "Is there any way we can do 
that? How can I analyze 10-20ns trajectories using pdb files?" You can 
pretend that multiple structures in one PDB file are a simulation 
trajectory, and gromacs tools will read and write a variety of 
trajectory formats according to the filename suffix you give to the tool 
you're invoking. See "man trjconv" among others. It does sound like you 
should do some more homework, like reading relevant sections of the 
gromacs manual and doing some tutorial exercises.
