This is solution:

pm.request.body.update({
     mode: "formdata",
     formdata: [
       { key: "name", type: "text", value: "File 1"},
       { key: "file", type: "file", src: "<Your path>"}
     ]

In case of file, KEY name should be src instead of value

eg- "src": "X:\\Postman\\files\\test.pdf"

otherwise it will treated as a text not as file path

kindly refer screenshot for the same
