Answer / shaili
External- It is a compiled executable of a program.Shell
executes it.
Internal- Built in shell.Faster in execution.
Internal commands provides more flexibility and better
management. But, if all commands are internal, shell will
become larger and less responsive.

Answer / ankur
Internal command are built in commands in shell & shell
shell doesn't start a separate process to run internal
commands where as external command require the shell to
fork and exec a process which may take some time on a busy
system
