Hi Mohit 
Mark as best answer, If it resloves !!​
check these below code  
try {
    Account acct = new Account(Name='SFDC Account');
    insert acct;

    // Once the account is inserted, the sObject will be 
    // populated with an ID.
    // Get this ID.
    ID acctID = acct.ID;

    // Add a contact to this account.
    Contact con = new Contact(
        FirstName='Joe',
        LastName='Smith',
        Phone='415.555.1212',
        AccountId=acctID);
    insert con;
} catch(DmlException e) {
    System.debug('An unexpected error has occurred: ' + e.getMessage());
}

Hi Mohit,
"Try this code it will create an account and a contact related to account." 
public class CreateAccountAndCon{
    public static void insertAccAndCon()
    {
        try{
             Account acc = new Account();
             acc.Name='Account1';
             insert acc;   
            Contact con= new Contact();
            con.AccountId=acc.id;
            con.LastName='Contact1';
            insert con;
          
        }catch(Exception e)
        {
            System.debug('Exception due to--->: '+e.getCause());
        }
    }
}
If you find your Solution then mark this as the best answer. 

Thank you!

Here is a more bulified code :-
trigger AccountTrigger on Account (after insert,after update) {
    //Account has a number field, we need to create contacts as per this field
    Map<Id,Integer> mapofAccountToCon = new Map<Id,Integer>();
    List<Contact> lstOfContactsToBeInserted = new List<Contact>();
    for(Account acc : Trigger.New){
        mapofAccountToCon.put(acc.Id, acc.NumberOfEmployees);
    }
    for(Id acc : mapofAccountToCon.keyset()){
        for(Integer i=0;i<mapofAccountToCon.get(acc);i++){
            Contact con = new Contact();
            con.FirstName = 'xyz'+i;
            con.LastName = 'xyz'+i;
            con.AccountId = acc;
            lstOfContactsToBeInserted.add(con);
        }
    }
    insert lstOfContactsToBeInserted;
}
