Hi, Solution 1:- stands for italic while stands for emphasis. While both are typically (but not always) styled to display as italic, is used when you want to put more stress on a word or phrase. would be used when you don’t need to stress a word or phrase, but do want it to be different from the words around it, for example when you might use it to indicate an alternative voice. Reference:- https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-the-HTML-tags-I-and-em-Are-there-HTML5-corrects Solution 2:- means text emphasis (in a paragraph or some other text content). In legacy HTML, used to mean italicized text. In HTML5, has been repurposed into something else entirely. (Note that this was not true at the time this answer was originally written.) The only thing these three elements have in common is that all three of them are typically set in italics. In other words, the fact that they all have the same default style is mere coincidence.

The difference comes when we talk about the concept of semantic markup Em means that there is emphasis on a text whereas i is just for a formatting text as italic Same for strong vs bold Here is the resource for further reading https://html.com/semantic-markup/

Hi, Hemalatha The idea begind previous link was to show you how writing semantic markup appeared in html5 has much more of itsleft except just em vs i or b vs strong. (note nav, footer, aside etc which allow to structure the whole page markup semantically) Though if you need a link that elaborates more on explicitly em vs i here's the one right for you https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/em It again confirms my words in a previous answer and also mentions some other semantic tags like cite
