But didn’t know how to access SetPrefersLargeTitles under Xamarin forms content page in below line mentioned in above link. 

On<Xamarin.Forms.PlatformConfiguration.iOS>().SetPrefersLargeTitles(true);

After set safe area as true output come as below, enter image description here

Please help me to resolve this.

You can do it from XAML like this

 xmlns:ios="clr-namespace:Xamarin.Forms.PlatformConfiguration.iOSSpecific;assembly=Xamarin.Forms.Core" 
ios:Page.UseSafeArea="true"
