I have created a script for deployment using YUM and RPM. During the pre script, is it possible to know whats the version of the rpm I am deploying.
I want to create a backup file with the version of the RPM (in its name) so that i can trace back the version of the RPM file.
I am ok if it is some base unix or RPM or YUM command

I'm assuming you mean the version of the RPM file you're installing. In that case it's in the %version macro. However, you probably want the Release tag, too. So you probably want to do something like:
echo "{%version}-{%release}" > %{_datadir}/%{name}/rpmver
If you want the version of RPM itself:
rpm --version > %{_datadir}/%{name}/rpmver
