Hi Rajendra,
Greetings to you!


I am giving some links that will help you to understand about aura methods and events. you must follow these links.

https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.lightning.meta/lightning/events_component.htm
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.lightning.meta/lightning/events_component_example.htm
https://www.biswajeetsamal.com/blog/component-events-in-salesforce-lightning-framework/

when to choose what?
Answer :- Aura:Method enables you to directly call a method in a component’s client-side controller instead of firing / handling a component event. so if you want to call a child component’s client-side controller method then you must use aura method.
and if you want the full functionality of the child component then you must use aura event.

I hope you find the above solution helpful. If it does, please mark as Best Answer to help others too.

Thanks and Regards,
