The steps to resolve are as follows:

If the last command doesn ' t work for you,you can go back to the Ubuntu display GUI setting and can chose the display you have Added just now. For me the option was 1904 x 1070 (16:9)
However if you is fine with this experiment and has found the desired screen resolution and to make that Permanent,write The last 3 commands starting from Xrandr--newmode command in your. xprofile file using following command and the n Save,exit and restart your Ubuntu VM and you'll get your desired resolution permanently.
$ gedit ~/.xprofile
