1. Yes, usa vga port of the laptop to connect to the external monitor
2. right click on desktop -> select screen resolution -> select the monitor in Display. connect the keyboard through usb port.
3. Dell S2240L

Does your laptop has hdmi port?
If yes than buying 21 inch display is a good option but if not than I don't think 21 inch or so is a good monitor considering you are going to use it with vga port.
And the procedure for connecting is given above

well it dont have hdmi port , but i am thinking of 21inch because. laptop is quite old and i may planned to buy a desktop in 6-8 months so this 21 inch can be quite useful that time

I think it would be worth a try to try and replace the laptop's LCD and the cable yourself (if you can handle a screwdriver). Around a year back, somehow my laptop's LCD got damaged. When I visited the Dell Authorised Service Center, they quoted me a 7K for replacing LCD. The same original LCD (manufactured by LG) cost me 3.5K from www.pctech.co.in, and replacing the LCD was just an hour's work.
As for the monitor, you can get any good ~22 inch 1080p LED monitor in around 8K (+-1K), and connecting it with a regular VGA won't have any issues, as VGA supports a resolution beyond that. I've used my 22" LED monitor with both the VGA cable as well as the HDMI cable along with the computer and the laptop without any issues.
As for the keyboard, you can check out some wireless ones from Logitech or Microsoft under 1K.

If it has got an HDMI port, you can connect to any HDMI enabled monitor or TV.
