That/which: The most commonly used words in GMAT. In SC that can be used for only two purposes, either as clause connector or as pronoun modifier. Let's look into each one.
1. When that is used as a clause connector, we should make sure it should be in between two clauses.
For example, Arun likes cooking that he cooks often at home.
2. When that is used as a noun modifier, we should check whether it is followed a noun, which it is supposed to modify.
For example, Arun loves chocolates that are made with caramel.
Which: which is also a relative pronoun modifier that modifies the noun it follows and is a non-essential modifier.

The sentence 'Arun likes cooking that he cooks often at home' seems ungrammatical to me.
Arun likes cooking, so he cooks often at home.
Arun likes cooking, so he cooks often at home.

Hi sirivelu, cooking is used as a noun here. Perhaps a more classical example would be:For example, Arun likes cooking that he cooks often at home.
Arun said that he liked cooking at home.
In addition to this, that can also be used as a relative pronoun and demonstrative pronoun.
p.s. Our book EducationAisle Sentence Correction Nirvana discusses the avatars of “that”. Have attached the corresponding section of the book, for your reference.
