What is on Account?
What is on Contact?
If you need to do a toggling between state and city than use Dependent field.

If what you really want is to prepopulate the fields, but allow the user to change them in case is necessary,
you will need to create a new "New Contact" button and inject the values through the URL.
It is not a best practice, as it might fail as soon as Salesforce decide to change it and it might not work on Salesforce 1, and mobile apps.
To inject the values through the url, for standard fields is easy, as you just use the name of the field, otherwise you need to use the ID (15 characters ID of the field and put it something like &00N41000009eaut=the value you want)
Take into account that you might need to encode it to prevent XSS risks and encoding issues
You can do this by formula field or trigger. By formula field : make both field types on Account as text fields and on Contact as formula fields.
formula should be for City: Account.City__c similarly for state.

i want it by using trigger please suggest anybody how to do it?
Apex Class :
public class AutomaticFieldPopulation
{
public static void autoPopulateCityOnContact(List<Contact> contList)
{
system.debug('**********');
set<id> ids = new set<id>();
for(Contact c : contList)
{
ids.add(c.AccountID);
}
Map<id,Account> mapForAccount = new Map<id,Account>();
for(Account acct: [Select id,City__c from Account where Id in: ids ])
{
mapForAccount.put(acct.id,acct);
}
contList= [Select id,CityNew__c from Contact where AccountID in: ids];
for(Contact c : contList)
{
if(mapForAccount.get(c.AccountID) != null && mapForAccount.get(c.AccountID).City__c != null)
{
system.debug('*******id************'+c.id);
system.debug('*******AccountID************'+c.AccountID);
c.CityNew__c = mapForAccount.get(c.AccountID).City__c;
system.debug('**********'+ mapForAccount.get(c.AccountID).City__c);
}
}
}
}
Trigger :
trigger automaticPopulation on Contact(Before insert, Before Update)
{
system.debug('*******Trigger************');
if(trigger.isBefore)
{
if(Trigger.isInsert || Trigger.isUpdate)
{
AutomaticFieldPopulation.autoPopulateCityOnContact(Trigger.new);
system.debug('*******Inner trigger************');
}
}
}
Add similarly for your remaining custom fields. If this helps you then let me know.
Thanks,

trigger populatepickvalue on Contact (before insert) {
if(trigger.new.isafter&& trigger.new.isinsert){
for(contact c:trigger.new){
if(c.accountid!=null&&c.Account.Rating!=null){
c.srinivasreddy__ratig__c=c.Account.Rating;
}
}
}
trigger populatepickvalue on Contact (before insert) {
if(trigger.isBefore)
{
if(Trigger.isInsert )
{
for(contact c:trigger.new){
account a=[select id,rating from account where id=:c.accountid];
c.srinivasreddy__ratig__c=a.rating;
}
