I want to know what is ssl and TLS. Someone in Internet are saying ssl is renamed as TLS both are same. Someone says both are different both are different protocols. I have read one more article that using of ssl and tls will give more security I.e SSL/TLS. I am confusing what is the exact one ?

SSL/TLS is a broad topic, and the question is not so specific. Nevertheless, here you can find basic information: https://www.globalsign.com/en/blog/ssl-vs-tls-difference/

Essentially, TLS is a better and upgraded version of SSL, and should be used instead of SSL versions.
