Hi Rysc,

Thanks for your information. The results were exactly same in that synthesis. I found there is one issue - the .qsf file was read only. I tried by channging the property of 'qsf' file by giving write permission. In the next synthesis the qsf file modified and the optimization technique changed to area. The result showed improvement and the logic utilization and ALUT usages were 5 to 10% less that the previous one.

Now I have a new question. Is there any parameter in quartus II by which we can ask the tool to optimized the area also when we give Optimization technique as Speed?
