What is mean by a one to many relationship when comparing a high level language to machine language?

It is meaningless. The term 'high-level language' implies a high-level of abstraction between the source code and the resultant machine code. In order for there to be a one-to-one relationship between the source code and the machine code, there must be little to no abstraction; the source language must be low-level. Assembly language is a low-level language with little to no abstraction.

What is compiler and assembler?
Both, compiler and assembler, are software tools which translate instructions written in a programming language into executable machine code. (Both will typically require additional tools, such as a linker, in the process.) An assembler recognizes a machine-specific assembly language. This is a low-level language with a one-to-one relationship between language (assembly) instructions and machine code instructions. A compiler recognizes a generally machine-independent language such as the C programming language. These are higher level languages compared to the assembly languages, generally offering a one-to-many relationship between language instructions and expressions, and the resulting machine code instructions.
Why there is a need for converting high level language into machine level language............ why cant we use high level language directly in computers?
Machine code is the native language of the machine. The machine does not "understand" any language other than its own native language. As such, all other languages, including low level assembly languages, must be compiled or interpreted in order to produce the required machine code.
How does a high level language relate to the microprocessor's instruction set?
Generally speaking, it doesn't relate at all. If it did, it wouldn't be high-level, it would be machine-dependent. The relationship between the high-level code and the machine-code is ultimately determined by the language translator (compiler and/or interpreter) but, unlike assembly language which maps 1:1 with the microprocessor instruction set, compilers and interpreters are code generators and there is seldom a 1:1 relationship between the high-level source code and the machine code.
One instruction in high level language corresponds to one instruction in machine language?
No. Generally, one instruction in a high level language corresponds to many instructions in machine language.
What is assembler can do?
It converts machine level language to high level language simultaneously...and vice versa..
High level to Machine level language is converted using?
high level language is converted to machine level language using a compiler or an interpreter
What is the difference between high level language and machine language?
The difference between high level languages and machine languages are as follows: 1)Machine language uses binary numbers/codes but high level languages(HLL) use key words similar to English and are easier to write. 2)Machine Language is a Low level language and is machine dependant while HLLs are not.
What is meant by Machine level language?
A language at the level of the machine it runs on. AKA Machine code, it's the underlying language that computer CPU's speak.
What is required to convert a high level language into machine language so as to execute it later?
we need compiler to convert high level language in to machine language

In which language we don't need transaction?
machine level language
One instruction in high level language corresponds to one instruction in machine language?
No. Generally, one instruction in a high level language corresponds to many instructions in machine language.
What does an interpreter do?
Interpreater translate the high level language into machine level language line by line

It converts machine level language to high level language simultaneously...and vice versa..
