Problem was with php path. so I have done like this

 if(defined('PHP_BINARY') && PHP_BINARY) 
  {
    $path = PHP_BINARY . '/php'; //PHP >= 5.4
  }
 else if(defined('PHP_BINDER') && PHP_BINDER)
  {
    $path = PHP_BINDER . '/php'; //PHP < 5.4
  }
else
  {
    //Throws Exception 
  }

and then used this variable in shell command as 

   shell_exec ($path test.php)

could you please provide the information which webserver you're using ? If you are using apache you might install libapache2-mod-php7.0 for php7.

ToDo this apt comes in handy:

apt-get install libapache2-mod-php7.0

or try to activate it

sudo a2enmod php7.0

Make sure that the php files are marked executable for webserver user (e.g. www-data)

sudo chmod -R o+x *.php
