And here's the Screenshot also Regarding the same:
As for the problem, Bluetooth doesn't work in Ubuntu(or even other Distributions. It just worked in 1 or 2 out of all the distributions I tested).
And for the Compliment regarding my ZorinOS-Lite Desktop... Thanks a Lot @ThDevloper

i just actually remembered that when i was a beginner in Linux i have also faced this Bluetooth problem and now i remembered how i solved that problem that time.(fact about me- actually now also i am a beginner 
)
that time i have used the below commands
step 1 Run sudo rmmod btusb in terminal
step 2 Run sudo modprobe btusb in terminal
try to run the above commands in terminal and see if the problem solved in Ubuntu. if still not solved then give the result of above commands and i will manually try to solve this problem.

What a coincidence...You remembered something and even I remembered something...
When I first Installed ZorinOS-Lite, there was a Popup which told to install additional drivers. Although Bluetooth worked out of the Box, I still installed the driver which was listed. I thought, why not try same thing in Ubuntu...
Opened that same application and after installing the following driver:
It worked...
So all in all, I think the Problem is now solved...

The problem with current releases of GNU/Linux is that they are geared to new hardware. The ethos of GNU/Linux had used to be "Breathing new life into old computers". You should really give Antix or MXLInux a try as they only uses 256 Mb RAM and is quick on older machines. I installed MX Linux on the machine my good lady uses which dates back to 2006 - An Athlon 64 with max of 2 Gb RAM and a 256 Mb AGP EVGA fanless Graphics Card!

Sure, I was thinking about trying MX Linux for a while now and will definitely look over to your suggestion
