  <registeredPeople>
    <id>1</id>
    <name>mohsan</name>
    <id>2</id>
    <name>ali</name>
    <id>3</id>
    <name>azhar</name>
  </registeredPeople>

Answer 1

Well, it is well-formed, but it does not make much sense. It should look more like this:

<registeredPeople> 
    <person>
       <id>1</id> 
       <name>mohsan</name> 
    </person>
    <person>
       <id>2</id> 
       <name>ali</name> 
    </person>
    <person>
       <id>3</id> 
       <name>azhar</name> 
    </person>
</registeredPeople> 

or maybe even like this:

<registeredPeople>
    <person id="1" name="mohsan" />
    <person id="2" name="ali" />
    <person id="3" name="azhar" />
</registeredPeople>        

Answer 2

Nobody can tell if it is valid, but is well-formed.
