HERE'S THE SIMPLE ANSWER:
WHEN YOU USE 'IN', WHILE CHECKING FOR WHERE CONDITION SQL
SERVER ENGINE DOES WHOLE TABLE SCAN.
IF YOU USE 'EXISTS' AS SOON AS ENGINE FINDS THE REQUIRED
ROW IT WILL STOP EXECUTING QUERY AND GOING FURTHER SCANNING
TABLE.

SO BASICALLY EXISTS IS FASTER AS COMPARED TO IN.

Answer / vijaykumar dolli

using the IN clause, you're telling the rule-based
optimizer that you want the inner query to drive the outer
query (think: IN = inside to outside).

When you write EXISTS in a where clause, you're telling the
optimizer that you want the outer query to be run first,
using each value to fetch a value from the inner query
(think: EXISTS = outside to inside).

Thank you

IN:

Returns true if a specified value matches any value in a

Exists:

Returns true if a sub-query contains any rows.

EXISTS is use to find the required row and does not search
whole table
