Hi Vikram,

You are getting this error because while querying the child records you have Query from Child Relationship Name which can be easily found on the workbench.
The correct query will be
Account a = [ Select Name,(Select FirstName,LastName from Contacts) From Account where id = '0017F000007tWcL'];

This 'Contacts' relationshipname was retrieved from workbench as shown in the screenshot below.

Kindly keep this in mind while querying child objects in the future.

Hope this helps,

Hi Vikarm,

In Inner query you need to use Child Relationship Name  not the object API name.
