@Nomal-patel lite-server can't find your index.html (see the 404 error)

Did you start lite-server from the same directory as where your index.html is saved?

Otherwise you should use --baseDir option.
For example:
My index.html is in the subfolder "src".
So I start live-server like this: lite-server --baseDir='src'
