From Gauss' Law, we know that the electric field inside a solid conducting sphere varies linearly with the distance from the centre. But we also know that electric field inside a conductor is zero.

How is this possible? Please explain me!

The field inside a conducting sphere is zero, not linear in $r$. The field of a uniformly charged sphere goes linearly with $r$.

from Gauss' Law electric field inside a solid insulating sphere varies linearly not in conducting sphere. inside a conducting sphere it will be zero.
