A beautiful quantum event is the existence of inseparability in many body systems. Quantum system containing of two subsystems is separable if its density matrix can be expressed as
where
and
are density matrices for two subsystems where

. Now people are involving in deep study last years various types of detection criterion and make implementation to the various states for detecting whether they are separable or not. In this work we just try to make a comparison of some separability criterion in a particular state and obtained a little bit consequences.

For this state, we are going to test where it is entangled and where separable using different types of entanglement detection criteria.At first for partial transpose criterion, the state is
Taking partial transpose on the party B, we have
Eigen values of this matrix are given by
For the state to be separable , we have

which implies that the state is separable for any value of p.Now for another computable separability criterion, we consider the same state
We write this state in matrix form as
Therefore, we have
The eigen values of the above matrix are p 2,p2,4,p2Now, adding the absolute values of the square root of all eigen values, we arrive at
Hence we see that for all physical values of p, the state is entangled.In short, we represent the above results in tabular form asLet us consider a state

]. But realignment criteria shows that the state is always separable whatever be the value of p. And the other criteria shows that the state is always entangled for any value of p. These conflicting results do not help us to reach to any concrete decision which one is stronger without any hesitations. So we can decide that PPT criteria is always strong criteria than others in
and
systems. Here PPT criteria exhibit more explicit and clear range of separability with respect to the other two methods. So in this paper through a detailed numerical search of the well known Warner state, it is clearly established that PPT is the reliable excellent criteria in the
and
systems.
