I assume it is the bathroom sink. Is there hot water in another sink in the house? In old steel pipes I have run across ones that get so rusted on the inside that water can not get through them. If anything has been done to the hot water line anywhere in the house, sediment or rust may have broken loose and plugged the fixtures.

When taking shower and someone flushes toilet at same time the water in shower is scalding hot?

When you take a shower, you're mixing a combination of hot and cold water to make a comfortable temperature for the shower water. A toilet draws only off the cold water system. In older or poorly designed plumbing systems, when you flush the toilet, the cold water is pulled by toilet, so the water coming through the shower is only drawing from the hot water tank.

What is a Triton electric shower and how does it differ from other showers?

A 'Triton Electric Shower' is a shower that can draw on a cold water supply and heat it on demand. It differs from other showers in the fact that it can use cold water and heat it itself, instead of relying on a boiler to heat the water first.
