You have a single memory slot and it is using DDR3L-1600 SO-DIMM. You can replace the 4 gb module with an 8 gb module:

 

This would work and is being offered at a pretty good price:

Yes. But the 240 G5 comes with several different processor options and what kind of memory it needs depends on the processor. But even the lowest end machine can accept a single 8 gb module.

Please help me. what to do to upgrade RAM from 4gb to 8gb?

please tell me the steps to do so.

HP Recommended

That is why I linked you to the Service Manual. Tell us first what processor you have as it makes a difference in what kind of memory you need to buy and how many slots are in there. 

HP Recommended

My laptop is of intel pentium processor.

And I don't know how much slot is present inside that.

HP Recommended

If its a 6th gen platform Pentium it has one slot and if its 7th it has two. In either case it is DDR3L-1600 SO-DIMM. 

 

Video might be better for you than a Manual:
