What type of push ups benefit muscle up?
I want to do muscle up. I can do 14 pull ups and I can get my elbow above the bar in to the muscle up position but when it comes to pushing down and completing the muscle up I don't have the required strength.
So I want to know what type of push up exercises I can do so I can push down something(complete the muscle up) more easily?

The muscle up could be viewed as a 3 steps exercise:
Pull up
Transition (the hardest part)
Push down or sometimes called dip
It seems you have a problem with the last step. The exercise I recommend the most is straight bar dips. In the beginning you might not be able to go that deep but don't fret about it. After a while you will be able to.
In general, it would also help doing the muscle up in reverse but slowly.
To answer the question at hand: I don't think that push-ups would effectively help you. The closest I could think of are tiger bend push-ups in combination with close or diamond push-ups.
You need to do dips. Start with dips on parallel bars and progress to ring dips.
Push-ups aren't specific practice for the pushing motion of the muscle-up.
