1) Without even looking at the plan I'm going to say 2-VCPU and 16GB RAM 
and is insufficient resources for what you want to do.

2) You will need to provide the schema definitions for the tables involved.

4)And based on the CPU core and memory , is there any calculation by 
using which , we can say that this machine can support a maximum N 
number of concurrent queries of such type beyond which we need more cpu 
cores machines?

You already have the beginnings of a chart:

1 session 2-3 secs

10-15 sessions 50-60% usage

40-50 sessions 90% usage
