These are really Wordpress basics Atul

Might be a good idea for you to read some articles on wordpress.org about this.

You can find the wp-config.php file in the root folder of your domain. Where all the wordpress files are located and where all the folders are located like /themes /plugins. That's the root.

Making a .htaccess file isn't hard. It's just a txtfile which has been saved as a .htaccess file without an extension.

Just add the following code, where example.com is your domain

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Thanks Yannick.

How do i upload the file to root folder. Where can i find wp-config.php file.  A few step by step explanation will be of much help.

There isn't one by default. You can create one by uploading it to the root of your directory. So where the wp-config.php file and the rest is located.
