Basic research is directed for the purpose of improving/advancing theory and scientific information/ knowledge. 

Applied research is done to resolve practical problems. 

Explanation of Solution

Pure Research:  Pure research is also called basic research and fundamental research. Pure research refers to the study i.e. aimed at extending the existing field of scientific knowledge. It is theoretical by nature. The utilization of basic research is universal. It is related to the growth of scientific information/knowledge and prophecies. Fundamental research aims to add some knowledge/ information to the existing one.

Applied Research:  It is illustrative and practical in nature. It has a more particular scope. The utilization of basic research is limited. It is related to the development of technique and technology. The purpose of applied research is to uncover the solution to the problem. It is used in various fields like agriculture, technology, etc.

Conclusion

Fundamental research has no particular goal. Applied research is based on the principles, theories discovered via pure research.
