You can try this

Apex Class :

public String SelectedRecordType {get ;set;}
public List<selectOption> getRecordTypes()
{
    List<selectOption> rTypes = new List<selectOption>();    
    for (RecordType  a : 
            [Select Id, Name,DeveloperName FROM RecordType 
            where SobjectType = 'Your_Custom_Object_Name__c']) 
            {
                rTypes.add(new selectOption(a.Id, a.DeveloperName ));
            }
    return rTypes; 
}

Visualforce Page :

<apex:PageBlockSection> 
                    <apex:PageBlockSectionItem >    
                        <apex:outputLabel value="Record Types:" for="Types"/>              
                        <apex:selectRadio value="{!SelectedRecordType}" id="rTypes" layout="pageDirection" style="margin-top:-10px;margin-left:-18px">
                            <apex:selectOptions value="{!RecordTypes}"> </apex:selectOptions>
                        </apex:selectRadio>
                    </apex:PageBlockSectionItem>
</apex:PageBlockSection>

You can use and rerender attribute to render Tables accordingly.
