yes for reusability and maintain when your web application is large or scale its better to use external css.
if we use external css we can use at different place and when changes occurs at one place
does not goes to in every line or check.

My answer is external CSS.
By including the external CSS in every page of a site, you ensure the pages will share the same presentation.
Advantage, when you make a change, you know know that the CSS is in sync on every page and a single change apply to every page.

Solution 1

For a general case, External CSS.

Reasons:
1. Maintainable
2. Easily replaceable
3. Cacheable
4. Loosely coupled

I would agree, with the additional advantages of reuse and flexibility. A single file can service the whole site, or you can break it up into a file for structure and one or more for colors. You can also create separate files that will be used depending on the user's browser, allowing you to move all of the IE 6 quirks into one document, Opera quirks into another, etc.

Yes. My 5! (though cannot be counted here!)

Absolutely. Anything internal and inline just make the page pretty much unsustainable.

My 5. I never knew External vs Internal CSS somebody will consider as types of CSS. Isn't it somewhat arbitrary terminology?
For a record, sometimes internal CSS is very good to use. Examples: a single-file stand-along document for download, a code sample, etc.

Yes, agreed. Thats why I wrote 'for a general case' :)
