Hi Raghu,

Just go through above link.In order to give you a easy and understandable way

Get:it will take value from controller and passed it to VF page.

whereas Set:It willtake value from the VF page and use it in the Controller.
Ex:inputfield  present in VF page, if we type something and we can use it in controller and do some business logic over there
