While checking on Google webmaster tool I found duplicated title and description issues one of my web pages. This error shows like this.

Sample.
http://www.xyz.com/xyz.php/sitemap.xml
and its webpage

These 2 pages having duplicate title and description issues. Anybody plz help how to fix this.

If both pages are same then please remove one of them and redirect the URL of removed page to the 2nd one URL. If both pages have different content then make a unique description for second one.

just change the meta title and description of your site, if you have any trouble just google there are many blogs providing detailed instructions to place title and description. if you canolize the url make sure you are pointing to your main content page

As the 2 pages have the same title and description but if the content is different then change title an description of another one. The page's content is also same then remove one of them and redirect to the original one. So that issue gets solved.

You should use unique Title & Description for each webpage to it highly ranked. http://crownsummit.com/

You should use unique and original Meta tags to rank in SERP.

Method 1: (recommended solution for a static homepage and latest posts both)
In Titles & Metas settings of Yoast SEO, enter a fixed text the Homepage Meta Description with %%page%% at the end of it. Adding %%page%% template tag at the end of Meta description will solve the problem of duplicate Meta Description for pagination or multiple paginated pages.
Method 2: (not recommended in most cases)
For the implementation of this method, excerpt support should be enabled on your WordPress site.
Use a Meta Description template instead of fixed text. This method is suitable when you’re using a static page as homepage of your WordPress site. In that case, you can use %%excerpt%% %%sep%% %%page%% template in Meta Description template. Also, you need to set an excerpt for the static page which you’re using a homepage.
Method 3: (involves no-indexing of paginated pages)
There is an option under Tiles & Metas > Sitewide meta settings > Subpages of archives to noindex paginated pages. So you can use this option to noindex subpages of archives to remove duplicate Meta descriptions of paginated pages.
