From the docs:

- name: Create a symbolic link
  file:
    src: /file/to/link/to
    dest: /path/to/symlink
    owner: foo
    group: foo
    state: link

Hi Rakesh,

I create the following play for you with a variable that you can loop and access the src and dest for the links. 

---
- name: create softlink
  hosts: servers
  gather_facts: off
  vars:
    sf_links:
      - src: /tmp/Test_10.0.0
        dest: /tmp/Test
      - src: /tmp/Test_11.0.0
        dest: /tmp/Prod
      - src: /tmp/Test_13.0.0
        dest: /tmp/Dev
  tasks:
    - name: create softlinks
      file:
        src: "{{item.src}}"
        dest: "{{item.dest}}"
        state: link
      loop: "{{sf_links}}"
