Answer Posted / rambabu kella

The Yellowdog Updater, Modified (YUM) is an open-source
command-line package-management utility for RPM.

Originally standing for "Red Hat Package Manager", RPM now
stands for "RPM Package Manager"

rpm is packagemanager while yum is a frontend,rpm can be
installed with the help of yum
yum can also trace the dependency while rpm cant .
we have to track the dependency if we install with the help
of rpm .
