Hi,

I deployed web application in my local iis under Default website.
The url is http://www.test.com/SubApplication/Controller/ActionResult
When i am giving some image path in html "/images/abc.jpg".I create the url "http://www.test.com/images/abc.jpg" but it should create "http://www.test.com/SubApplication/images/abc.jpg".Is there any setting in IIS for this.I googled but nothing found.

What I have tried:

I tried to change some settings in iis and also tried to change image path "~/Images/abc.jpg" and also tried to change routing but nothing works

Use @Url.Content

Razor

<img src="@Url.Content("~/images/abc.jpg")"/>

I'd try and use relative paths, but if you can't use relative paths you'll need to define the path to the image in a js variable on the view;

<script>
var myImgPath = '@Url.Content( ... )';
</script>

then in your js file you use that variable;

$("#myimg").attr("src", myImgPath);

The solution suggested by F-ES Sitecore will work for you. I am just adding some more information for your understanding.
/images/abc.jpg
A slash (/) in the start indicates a path from the root of a website. Since your website is www.test.com, /images will return this path - www.test.com/images.
There is no problem if we host our application under a website (usually done in production environment). But in local system we usually point our website to an application under default website as we do not need to create any domain host entries then. In such cases, relative paths creates issues. Tilde (~) comes to our rescue. In ASP.NET using Page.ResolveUrl to a path starting with ~ would give us path specific to our application. In MVC we can do the same using Url.Content. Hope that gives you some clarification.
