@prash4 Write a onBefore Update business rule on your sc_task table as follows.

Here is the script.

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/ ) {

    // Add your code here
    var glideTask = new GlideRecord('sc_task');
    glideTask.addQuery('parent', current.parent.getValue('sys_id'));
    glideTask.addQuery('short_description', '<short description of your other task>');//Put short description of the taks where you would like to copy the attachments
    glideTask.query();
    while (glideTask.next()) {
        var attachment = new GlideSysAttachment();        
        var copiedAttachments = attachment.copy('sc_task', current.sys_id, 'sc_task', glideTask.getValue('sys_id'));
        gs.info('Copied attachments: ' + copiedAttachments);
    }

})(current, previous);

Hope this helps.

Why to copy same file in multiple records?

This will increase size of sys_attachment table

Why not use this related list custom functionality?
