Hi Mahesh,

Please find the steps below to create an Account using REST API:

* Login to Workbench (https://workbench.developerforce.com/login.php).
* Navigate to 'Utilities -> REST Explorer'
* Select the 'Method' as 'POST'
* Paste the below line in the text box: 
/services/data/v46.0/sobjects/account
* Click on 'Headers' and paste the below: 
Content-Type:application/json
Accept: application/xml
* In the Request Body, paste the below content:
  
{
  "Name" : "Account from REST API",
  "ShippingCity" : "Delhi"
}


* Click 'Execute'. The Account will be created.

Refer Trailhead (https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/content/learn/modules/api_basics/api_basics_rest) module for more information about REST API.
