thank u guys

i need to know the history of the users(the programs executed by the user)
which file does store all the details.

Not sure, but try:
/home/user/.bash_history

As brianL said,
under the home directory of the user you will find .bash_history file which stores all the commands executed in bash shell.

how many can be stored based on the setting in the environment variable HISTORY

check this by typing

env | grep HISTORY
