Question

Is better to do high reps and low reps in when doing push ups or low sets and high reps ?

Answer 1

Low sets, high reps. The point behind low reps is to completely exhaust the muscle group in those few reps; if you could just keep going you've defeated the purpose. Since you can't adjust the weight you're lifting with push ups (unless you put a weight plate on your back), they are not ideal for building strength. Do 2 or 3 sets of as many as you can, with proper  form (smooth, controlled pace, don't jerk, and chest nearly to ground) for best results.

Answer 2

Just do slower pushups you will get more benefit from them

Answer 3

I dont think that it will make a difference as far as how you will look, since it seems like you would be doing the same amount of pushups, just done in a different order. However, the one advantage of doing a set of high reps is that you can increase the endurance of the muscle a bit probably, but my best answer is that the difference would be negligible.
