All Aruba controllers have 2 partitions; think of the "unused" one as the failsafe in the event an upgrade goes badly.
Your local SE should be providing this information also.
As to the version, 5xx series firmware, seeing that 8.7 is installed, it's not on the Conservative (safe release track), this means that you can go to any v8.x firmware release.
Going to the latest firmware will not have any special results, I recommend reading the release notes on ASP portal for each release.

Greeting Support team

why it's showing 2 partitions you mention that 1 is an active partition if the active partition is in use why its showing 2 partitions actually we have to hand over the system to the customer but now they are asking why there 2 partitions with different versions.

Seems that you have 2 questions...
To upgrade the partition, you can go to the controller's management address and perform an update.

The active partition is shown with DEFAULT BOOT next to it.
The second question requires more information. What model of AP's do you have?
Access the release notes for the firmware on the ASP portal to validate your supported AP models.
