'acc' is out of scope. Second for loop has no idea what 'acc' is.

Hi Viswa,
        Please go through the sample code in below link
        http://salesforceglobe4u.blogspot.in/2015/12/update-all-contacts-phone-number-with.html
Let me know in case of any issues.
hpmohanhpmohan
for(account acc : trigger.new) // scope of 'acc' begins here
 {
 list<contact> listcon= [select phone from contact where accountid=:acc.id];
 }
for(Contact ct : listcon) scope of 'acc' ends here, and a new object 'ct' starts here
 {
 
 ct.phone=acc.phone ;// this for loop will definitely ask, where my 'acc' object is.
 }
Please try solve your issue like this.
  
//PSEUDOCODE

triggerOnAccount(after update)
{
//get all 'id' s of incoming objects

	set<id> accList = new set<id>();
	for ( account acc : trigger.new)
	{
		accList.add(acc.id);
	}

// query all contacts, those belong to the account in 'accList'

	list<Contact> conList = [SELECT id,phone FROM contact WHERE Account.id =:accList];

// do the update phone number part here

	for (Contact c :conList )
	{
		c.phone = c.account.phone;
	}
//update contacts

	update conList
}
