Do you have a custom class named 'Account'?  If so, the compiler will assume that List<Account> is a list of your custom class, and assigning a list of sobject Accounts to that will be treated as an error.

Yes I have.If we write class name as object name then i will get this type of problem on every object.Is there any alternate way to rectify this type problem....? Thanks for your suggestion.

You can use the System prefix to identify the sobject account, e.g.

 

list<System.account> lst=[select id ,name from account  limit 10];

 

Personally I'd change the name of the custom account class, as I think it causes confusion going forward.

You'd need to use the OFFSET feature:

list<System.account> lst=[select id ,name from account  limit 5 offset 5];
