Answer / nisha munjal

SDI-Most applications in Windows 95 or later use a Single Document Interface. Each window of the application holds a single document, so if the user wants to open more documents with that application, he must open a new window. It's also the default mode when building an application with Visual Basic. An example of an SDI application is Windows Notepad.
MDI-Multiple Document Interfaces were more popular in versions of Windows prior to Windows 95, but they've become less common, outside of a few applications. With an MDI, each window within an application holds multiple documents, usually in sub-windows. Each time the user wants to open a new document, rather than opening a new window, the document opens within the existing window and shares it with all other open documents. An example of an MDI application is a tabbed Web browser like Firefox, where users have an option to open documents in multiple tabs within the same window.
