As ethernet explain that we can use a maximum 100m UTP cable between each client and hub or switch. Please tell me what will be the maximum UTP cable length that i can use between two hubs or two swith in an ethernet 10/100BaseT network.

theroratically it is 185 meters for the old thick yellow coaxials, UTP 10 Mbit will reach it too, higher speeds usually less but thats depending als on the amount of Radio, electrical and magnetical interference which the cable picks up along the way. Before people start moaning on the fact that it is symmetrical the signal has to be readable on the other end.
I've seen leghts of 225 meter working with slightly degraded performance between 2 switches
in a very clean environment, but suffered heavvy
problems on a 60 meter length which was located in a elevator-shaft and picked up the peaks of the elevator-motors and powercables thuwogh the same wiring-guide..
