First of all, this topic should be moved to help section, more specifically, between the general help topics.

Have you followed this tutorial correctly? http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.0/start-vc.php
Errors like these happen when you're not linking your project with a library that contains the definition of a function you're using from that library. Check these out:

All these settings like my settings except the version of SFML, here you used SFML v2.0, But I used SFML v2.1 is this the mistake ?

No, it's definitely not. Try downloading the 32-bit package instead. And, have you defined SFML_STATIC macro in the preprocessor options of your project? (you shouldn't)
