Upendra,

you can check for "CPU Time" events in AWR and even in statspack.
These data might be just imprecise, but at least it's a starting
point. In recent versions you can also use  V$SYSMETRIC_HISTORY or
DBA_HIST_SYSMETRIC_SUMMARY to compare the number of "CPU Time" to the
system load.

hopefully this is a start of some breadcrumbs for you,
 Martin
