3 Build refers to the S/W part which still in testing. or which is not tested yet. Release refers to the S/W which is no longer in testing. Version refer Variation of an earlier or original type of S/W
4 Build can be rejected by test team if defect found or it does not meet the certain requirement. One Release can have several builds associated with it. Version based on the Build, not Vice Versa..

Answer / a. chaudhry
Build is the "Apple" from the tree handed over to you to
test whether it is edible or not ( functionality) .
After eating and digesting the "Apple" it's time to
Release it and we finally hand it over to the client of the
project.
Version is basically nothing but the number of releases
you made according to the addition of the requirement of the
client. :-)

Answer / manohar
Build - In the refinement of a specific module, the
developer and tester deals with this module in multiple
releases.
Each such release is called build.
Version - Whenever a new requirement is added to the already
existing version/functionality version will be changed.
e.g QTP 9.2 released with new version QTP 9.5 with new
features and enhancements.
Release - When the developed product(build) is sent to
testing team, it is called Release
Delivery - The refined product will be sent to the client
