What I am confused is that when I do 'show activation' it shows Active/Active does not matches with 'show failover' it shows Active/Passive.
Attached is the file for reference. Any help on this?

The "show failover" output doesn't show the context information (it will show the 2 failover groups if it's in multiple context mode).
Here is an example when it's in Active/Active mode:
hostname# show failover
Failover On
Failover unit Primary
Failover LAN Interface: folink GigabitEthernet0/2 (up)
Unit Poll frequency 1 seconds, holdtime 15 seconds
Interface Poll frequency 4 seconds
Interface Policy 1
Monitored Interfaces 8 of 250 maximum failover replication http
Group 1 last failover at: 13:40:18 UTC Dec 9 2004
Group 2 last failover at: 13:40:06 UTC Dec 9 2004

Within the "show activation-key", the Active/Active means that it is capable of running the Active/Active failover (or licensed to perform Active/Active failover if configured to do so).
Active/Active failover needs the ASA to be in multiple context mode, and your ASA is configured in single mode, so it is Active/Passive failover that has been configured on it.
Hope that answers your question.

How did you infer that the ASA is configured in single mode?
