I started syncing repo with the command ' $ repo sync -j4 '(without the quote). After downloading some data, I checked with th command ' ls -al' and could not find any .repo folder. I think I will have to go to my created folder named as cm12 and then start 'repo sync'. Am I right. I mean not to give command at " prasanna@prasanna-Aspire-4736Z " but at " prasanna@prasanna-Aspire-4736Z:~/cm12 ". Please guide.

You can perform repo commands from any folder that's inside the repo-based directory
repo looks in the current folder for a .repo , and failing that, goes up a directory and so on to find the .repo folder.
When you first check out, it will (by default) create a folder, and you should run your commands from inside that folder (or any of the sub folders of it).
As an aside, you might also be able to provide better help when asking your question through the use of the pwd command. When you say prasanna@prasanna-Aspire-4736Z:~/cm12 thats showing part of your shell, and it might not show up what folder you are in (for lots of reasons, and looks different for lots of people). the command pwd returns your current working directory (it stands for 'Print Working Directory'.
