Your view expects model of type UnRelatedEntity.Models.MobilePhoneXchangeEntities1, but you pass result object to it. result is a database query, which you have described in controller action. So, you get expected error - type mismatch.

To fix this you should create type for your query items. Very simple example:

public class ResultItem
{
    public Foo Foo { get; set; }
    public Bar Bar { get; set; }
}

After that modify select statement in your query:

select new ResultItem { Foo = foo, Bar = bar };

and in the end, change model type of the view to IEnumerable, because query will return collection of result items.
