I am not sure if I understood your problem.

What error message do you get when you try to extract the archive with
Code:
tar xzvf 20110913.tar.gz

?

Maybe the extraction worked but the files are most probably being written to that path they were archived with.

'tar xzvf 20110913.tar.gz' command is enough for extract the 'tar.gz' format file. If you are not able extract the file by using the 'xzvf' optioin, check your tar utility version and upgrade the latest tar version. This may me help to you.

Code:
[user01@rkfvm10 archive]$ ls
  20110913.tar.gz  log
[user01@10 archive]$ tar xzvf  20110913.tar.gz

[user01@10 archive]$ ls
  20110913.tar.gz

please see above inforamtion carefully

my aim is when i am running ls command an archive path it should display
all the files containing that tar.it should not display again tar file.

please see below which are my requirements, which is not getting me.

Eg:
Code:
[user01@rkfvm10 archive]$ ls
  20110913.tar.gz  log
[user01@10 archive]$ tar xzvf  20110913.tar.gz
