Unix administration commands
would like to know whether there are commands by which we can monitor these user activity

1) How many files are deleted by a user

This is a howto. Your question involves way more than I can type

I was looking for ways by which I can find these things by my own.
I do not want to rely on Unix auditing/accounting tools.
