There are typically two cables, one is usually red and the other black. The black cable attaches to the negative terminal on the battery and the red wire connects to the positive terminal on the battery. When removing the battery from the vehicle always remove the negative cable from the battery first. When installing the new battery always connect the negative cable to the battery last.

You need to take the cable off, and then clean the battery post, and the inside of the cable that goes over it. I don't know what kind of vehicle you have. If it's a GM with the side mount connections on the battery,it also could be a corroded cable, that you can't always see. They corrode under the insulating rubber. These usually require a new cable.
How they know that cable of battery is positive and the other one is negative?
I assume you're asking how can you tell which is positive and which is negative? The red cable is positive in the black cable is negative. But if they are not color-coded the positive battery post is slightly larger than the negative battery post. If you try to connect the negative cable to the positive post it would be a tight fit and if you connect the positive cable to the negative post it would be loose.
