I am new to stock market. I never found any clear response on internet for this query. Few define quote data as the last traded value, few define it as the bid & ask value. I also wonder OHLC values lie in which category. Could you please help me understand this concept with examples?

A current quote has the bid and ask price, the price of the last trade, the size of the market at the bid and the ask, and net change.
A Summary Quotes provides a more comprehensive view. It usually contains:
Symbol
Name
Open
Bid
Ask
Previous Close
Last Trade
Volume (during regular hours)
Today's Low
Today's High
It may also include:
Week's Low
Week's High
52 Week High
52 Week Low
EPS
PE Ratio
Shares Outstanding
Market Cap
Dividend
Ex-Div Date
