Hey sadaf2605 and welcome to the forums.

Have you checked Wikipedia?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_data_type
 
An Abstract Data Type is usually an interface which holds methods for an implementation of a Data structure. There are different ADTs available to implement different data structures. ADTs usually hold <E>, Generic variable type, so the user may or may not specify the Data Type of the data structure that is being implemented from the ADT..
