Why in cpanel database size is showing 0.00MB while when i take backup of database then it is 1.2 MB?
A:
Your download includes your "information_schema" database too, I hope you acknowledge that, however I would not seem to think it would weigh about 10 megabytes of data, so the only other issue I would see as a concern is you database is not mapped so try repairing it, or creating a new database and uploading the contents to it.

information_schema is not being dumped. It's not a real database, just a collection of views (even if they appear to be MyISAM tables)

Alright. In some instances it can be downloaded with a MySQL backup.

I believe CPanel runs a series of tasks which update counters such as database size, rather than calculating it on-the-fly. If it's not up-to-date, either the task isn't running or isn't running often enough.
