1] Should it be done in Hours or Story Points?

2] What to do if we have unequal number of Developers and Testers (Say 2 developers and 1 Tester) in the team?

Hi Sumit,

1] Should it be done in Hours or Story Points?

Scrum does not require hours or story points. I can recommend this resources to get a better overview: https://www.mountaingoatsoftware.com/presentations/agile-estimating

2] What to do if we have unequal number of Developers and Testers (Say 2 developers and 1 Tester) in the team?

Scrum do not have the role tester ;)  

What does your Definition of done say about testing? Can everybody from the dev. team perform the work for the DoD?

@Nils - Thank you for the reply.

Our team recently started following Agile, so we have Developers separate from Testers.

So, Developers are not performing testing, its conducted separately by testers.

What difficulties has this presented to the team, and do they recognize them?
