Why does google treat these two as different pages, Ulimately these two has to be considered as One isnt it, Is there any logical thought to it???

Sometimes there is some difference.

Google treat web pages with wwww and without www as completely different. I too don't know what is the logic behind it.

you should create a 301 redirect from non www to www or vice versa. As they are treated separately, there is a possible duplicate content issue that may cause you problems.

Yeah they treat them differently but don't know what is the reason behind that.

Agree with UTOPIA,you'd better create a 301 redirect.
I noticed that if you have a page which is whitebar on the www.it will show the rank as something else on the non www.site.
