You can add it as a child incident to the main incident record and if you have state sync from parent to child then the related child incidents will be auto-updated along with parent incident.
For your requirement
1 . if i select Duplicate option after that Check box field visible automatically under Close information field
Add both checkbox and duplicate field below close information field from 'Form Layout or Form Designer'
2.if i select Check box after that Duplicate incident(reference field) field visible under Check field
Write a UI policy on that table and add conditions as 'checkbox || is || true', check Onload to true, reverse if false to true.
In UI Policy Actions tab, add the field 'duplicate' and make 'visible' true.
3.if select any incident number in Duplicate incident field and click on save button of main incident then selected incident (in Duplicate incident reference field) should go to closed state without respect of state.
Write a BR on this table and trigger After update, add conditions( make sure you add 'duplicate || changes AND duplicate is not empty' AND Any other conditions you require)
In the script part, use below 'getRefRecord' functionality and update the incident state.
var grInc = current.u_duplicate.getRefRecord(); //map the proper field name of duplicate here
if(grInc.isValidRecord()) { // << only perform operations on it if it's a valid record
grInc.state = 6 // resolved state
grInc.update();
}

Points
1) you can create UI policy for that
Table: Incident
Condition: Checkbox field is true (checked)
UI Policy Actions: Show the Duplicate incident reference field
2) Business rule
a) After update
b) Condition
Resolution code is Duplicate
AND
Checkbox is checked
AND
Duplicate incident field is not empty
c) Script
(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {
// Check if the Duplicate incident field is filled
if (current.u_duplicate_incident) {
var dupIncident = new GlideRecord('incident');
if (dupIncident.get(current.u_duplicate_incident)) {
// Set the state to Closed (usually 7, but check your instance)
dupIncident.state = 7; // 7 is the default value for 'Closed'
dupIncident.update();
}
}
})(current, previous);
