Teri aur tumhara?

Answer

The following three forms of possessive pronoun "your" are used in Hindi.

Your = Aapkaa, Aapki, Aapke  = used with elders or formal acquaintances.(Respectful/formal)

Your = Tumharaa, Tumhari, Tumhare = Used with equals .(Informal)

Your = Teraa, Teri, Tere = used with children, near and  dear ones. (intimate)

I believe, you should use  "Aapkaa/i/e with elders and Tumharaa/i/e with friends and other peoples.

Answer

teri/a/e is more informal than tumhari/a/e. 
Aapki/a/e is formal.

Answer

Tumhari and tumhara represents gender of object you talking about,,,, same way for close friends Teri and tera are used,,,,
