When I right click on my project in eclipse I see two options synchronize with repository and update to head. I am not getting what is the difference among them?

The difference is following:
Update to HEAD will do svn update.
In other words it will update your working copy to the last revision from the repository.
Synchronize with Repository is something similar to svn status -u, but even more.
It will open a Synchronize tab (or perspective) that displays overview of your local (outgoing) modifications versus repository (incoming) modifications.
In this tab or perspective, you can review and synchronize (commit / update) individual files, see differences between your working copy files and incoming files from repository, browse commits history, resolve conflicts.
In general, I highly recommend you to check out the SVN Handbook. At least first two chapters.

1@Parker, 'Update to version' does it mean 'Revert Modifications' in Subversion in 'Net Beans IDE' ? – Woody Sep 18 '14 at 04:58

1@Woody, Sorry, I have no experience with Net Beans IDE. I suggest you to open a new question. – Paker Sep 18 '14 at 13:31
