I am unable to maximimze the Ubuntu window.

As fossfreedom indicates in a comment, it is better to install the Virtualox Guest Additions first. See this question to do so: How do I install Guest Additions in a VirtualBox VM?.
After that, if you still have your problem, try changing the resolution of Ubuntu inside Ubuntu:
here's what worked!!
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-guest-utils virtualbox-ose-guest-x11 virtualbox-ose-guest-dkms
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-utils
. It pulls in dkms.
