I regularly uses xterm for web browsing because of its image rendering property but the one thing which makes xterm difficult comparing to terminal is the copy/cut paste availability in terminal program. I have found this method and according to this i saved the below code in .Xdefaults file in home directory
xterm -ls -xrm 'XTerm*selectToClipboard: true'&
After the implementation of this code I am able to select text in xterm but not able to copy or cut paste (using mouse or keyboard shortcuts ctrl+c etc) any text from or to the xterm.
Any idea what went wrong?

You shall not include that line in
.Xdefaults. Thus shalt thou start the program.Or with
.Xdefaults:Add this line:
and reload the configuration
