I know that ,
$1) frac{0}{0}$
$2) frac{pminfty}{pminfty}$
$4) 0 times(pminfty) $ are Indeterminate forms.
But in measure theory $ 0 times(pminfty) =0 $
Are there any other indeterminate forms ? And Why ?

You can add $1^{infty}$ and $0^0$ to that list.

There's also $infty - infty$, $infty^0$

"Indeterminate form" really shouldn't be taken to have a hard, well-defined meaning. Division by zero and general arithmetic with infinity is not allowed by the rules of algebra. "Indeterminate forms" are just expressions which naively substitute a limiting value for the limit variable.

The following is a list of indeterminate forms usually encountered:
$$frac{0}{0}$$
$$frac{infty}{infty}$$
$$0 cdot infty$$
$$0^0$$
$$infty - infty$$
$$infty^0$$
$$1^infty$$
Why are they indeterminate?
Just in case this turns out to be helpful:
The sources of these images are:
1. https://www.math.brown.edu/~pflueger/math1a/lecture24.pdf
- http://17calculus.com/limits/indeterminate-forms/
In case, you are starting off learning about indeterminate forms I suggest taking a look at the pdf above.
Hope this helps.
