@ jeeva 
orbital radius is given , 
so, time taken by the earth to complete one revolution 
T = 1 year = 365 . 25 days . 
= 365.25 * 24 * 60 * 60 
universal gravitational constant = 6.67 * 10 ^ -11 
so, mass of sun can be calculated using the relation 
M = 4 pie square r cube / G T square 
by plugging in the value answer will be 2.0 * 10 ^ 30 kg , 
hope it clears now
