An example:
Tanzil is so capable that he does not require help.
Answer: "Tanzil is too capable to require help"
On this basis transform the sentence:
Naman is so innocent that he gets easily deceived
Changing the sentence using "too", I wrote
"Naman is too innocent to not be easily deceived."
However that is wrong.
The correct answer is: "Naman is too innocent not to be easily deceived."
Please somebody clarify the above.

I don't really follow. Did someone tell you that the form "to not be" is incorrect, but with no explanation? Maybe he objected to the split infinitive; we prefer to put the word "to" immediately before the verb in an infinitive. This objection really has nothing to do with business of "so" and "too."

I think of "right" and "wrong" constructions as questions of degree and taste. In this case I think that lots of literate and careful writers sometimes put the word "not" within the infinitive just the way you did. But personally I would make the same change that someone else seems to be advising you to make, putting "not" before "to." In my opinion it's partly a question of whether the particular words sound natural to you in one order or another.
