In my project i have to create an Accordion.which is better to use Jquery or Ajax

A:
AJAX is for server-side requests, to get or send new data for your page (without a full page reload), it's an alltogether different concept.
For the accordion, I think you're looking for the jQuery UI accordion, though there are many options out there.

A:
AJAX, or Asynchronous Javascript and XML, is an umbrella term for the technologies and methodologies involved in loading data from the server without a page request.
jQuery is a Javascript library.
Javascript is a client side scripting language.
As @Nick said, the jQuery UI accordion plugin is a good choice for the accordion.

jQuery is not a framework. It is a library.

That's a bit like asking "What should I use to get to work today? A car or an accelerator pedal?"
AJAX is a general term that refers to the techniques that make use of client-side scripting (e.g. JavaScript) to communicate with the server between page-loads.
jQuery is a framework (a set of libraries and tools) that make writing JavaScript simpler and easier. It includes facilities for using AJAX.

Watch out @Will, @sundowatch might tell you that jQuery is a library if you're not careful.
