How to click on particular "add task" link , when more add tasks are there and I couldn't be able to find an unique Xpath
In this case the add task comes when we add new project, so every-time new add task generates.

From what I understand, you need to locate the "add tasks" link based on the project name. The project name node is not expanded on the screenshot, but I'm assuming there is an a element there too:
String projectName = "qrr";
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//tr/td[a = '" + projectName+ "']/following-sibling::td/a[. = 'add tasks']"));
This is to locate the "add tasks" button for the qrr project name.
Or, you can locate the appropriate row and use "by link text" locator:
WebElement row = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//tr[td/a = 'qrr']"));
WebElement addTasks = row.findElement(By.linkText("add tasks"));

Thanks for replying alecxe, Actually the condition is the "add task" link gets added with the same name i.e "add tasks" whenever we create new project so the linkText or the Xpath we cant use because it will not select the correct one , as all the project is having the same name for "add task"(refer screen shot). How to locate particular add task for different projects? .

The screenshot's resolution is too low. Could you provide us with a better one? Or maybe you could reproduce the HTML in your question.

@ChandanKumar I'm actually providing a way to locate the "add tasks" based on the project name. Isn't it what you are asking about?

You can use the Path but I will suggest to use the CSS Selector inlace of Path. CSS Selectors are faster than Path. To learn CSS Selector you can use http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_selectors.asp .

I used the following code and it worked perfectly fine
String ProjectName = "qrr";
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//tr/td/a[contains(text(),'"+ ProjectName +"')]/ancestor::tr[2]/td[2]/a[contains(text(),'add tasks')]")).click();
