How to get the information of a specific process given its process ID using the command 'ps' in Linux. I also want to get the proportion of memory the process occupies.

Is that 'ps processID' ?

You could use 

  pmap $PID

or perhaps

  cat /proc/$PID/maps

and/or 

  cat /proc/$PID/status

See proc(5) for details.

ps -o pmem h -p processID

pmem: Ratio of the process's resident set size to the physical memory on the machine, expressed as a percentage.
