if yes, Can someone guide me about it?
Here is the Apple support doc on best practices. Just about everyone I know follows the second method (both on a single partition) without issues.
An alternative is to run multiple systems and boot into the one you need when you need to. I still have a Snow leopard system on which I have both FCS and FCP X 10.0.9. It's rock-solid stable and I intend to maintain it in its current state for the foreseeable future – not only for FCS applications but some others that are important to me and aren't necessarily supported in 10.10.
FCP 7 seems to work OK with 10.10, but Motion does not and the preference pane of Qmaster can only be opened from the Terminal. DVD Studio Pro works but with some reported menu issues.
Good luck.

Jun 5, 2015 8:05 AM in response to Shiv@kumarby EcoGreg,★HelpfulHi Shiv
Yes you can have both 7 and X running on same machine. Installation of 7 may require using a disk image or terminal.
Philipp Hodgetts 7toX app is an excellent program to have if you want to transfer any projects from 7toX Really can't recommend it enough.
If your MP is pre late 2008( I think) then you are "officially" limited to Lion and earlier version of FCPX. However, I have run Mavericks and FCPX 10.1.1 on a 2006 MP1.1 with no major issues after updating GPU.
When you upgrade, I highly recommend that you do a clean install and not use Migration Assistant. MA will give you grief, especially going from 10.6.
Hope this helps, Greg
