Hello Suman,
Thanks for posting your query in PSC :)
As per the skin inheritance, I assume that you have created a new dependent skin. Refer https://pdn.pega.com/sites/pdn.pega.com/files/help_v722/procomhelpmain.htm#ui/ui-skin/skin-inheritance/ui-skin-inheritance-con.htm of Pega 7.2.2.
You are facing reported error while adding a parent skin(i.e. step-3 of https://pdn.pega.com/sites/pdn.pega.com/files/help_v722/procomhelpmain.htm#ui/ui-skin/skin-inheritance/ui-adding-parent-skin-tsk.htm). Is my understanding correct? Have you check 'inherit base settings from the parent' under Base setting tab of the skin?
Does techtalk on skin inheritance help at your end?

I did select the 'inherit base settings from the parent' option in the skin rule

Hi Suman,
Can you send the screen shot of the css rule or the format which you want to modify in the current skin . Also screenshots these rules in the base layers.

I am not trying to modify any CSS or format for now. I am trying to create a new skin with the parent skin in the inheritance tab and getting the errors.

It seems that you have some legacy styles enabled in your skin - these styles were used in old layouts and have been deprecated. You should not have them in your skin.
in your skin that cannot save, open the 'containers' component and check if the 11 formats listed above are visible in the list of formats. Try to uncheck the 'show legacy styles' checkbox if checked. If it does not help, try to also unchecked the 'show legacy styles' in your parent skin.

Can anyone tell me.How can I make a skin rule inherit from multiple skin rules in Pega 7.2.2?

Why are we not allowed to inherit from more than one skin rule?

The skin supports multi-level inheritance but not multiple inheritance. Multilevel inheritance refers to a mechanism in OO technology where one can inherit from a derived class, thereby making this derived class the base class for the new class. As you can see in below flow diagram skin C inherits from skin B and B in inherits from skin A
This limitation was done to avoid having circular inheritance and avoid the multiple inheritance diamond problem -see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_inheritance . Java for example only supports multi-level inheritance and not multiple inheritance - http://beginnersbook.com/2013/05/java-inheritance-types/
