I have connected a 4000 series router and a 2500 series routers serially using a back-to-back serial cable.The problem is that the line protocol never comes up.I am attaching the outputs here.Please help.

I cannot tell by looking but do a show controllers on both serial interfaces,one needs to be DCE, with a clockrate (not the same as bandwidth) set.
you also need a DCE cable connected to the DTE cable.

what is the conf of the two connected interfaces ?
Show contr int... would also be helpfull.

try the following simple configs on your routers:
on the 2500:
int s1
ip add 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0
clock rate 64000 (use this command only if this is the dce side of the cable)
no shut
on the 4000
int s1
ip add 10.0.0.2 255.0.0.0
clock rate 64000 (use this command only if this is the dce side of the cable)
no shut
the line and protocol should come right up on both intfs once you issue the no shut
if it doesn't than you're not using the correct cable, you have a cable problem (defective, not plugged in properly, etc.), or there could also be a problem with one of your routers serial interfaces
