We have statistically analyzed a set of 115 low frequency (Deca-Hectometer wavelengths range) type II and type III bursts associated with major Solar Energetic Particle (SEP: E p > 10 MeV) events and their solar causes such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) observed from 1997 to 2014. We classified them into two sets of events based on the duration of the associated solar flares:75 impulsive flares (duration < 60 min) and 40 gradual flares (duration > 60 min).On an average, the peak flux (integrated flux) of impulsive flares X2.9 (0.32 J m −2) is stronger than that of gradual flares M6.8 (0.24 J m −2). We found that impulsive flare-associated CMEs are highly decelerated with larger initial acceleration and they achieved their peak speed at lower heights (-27.66 m s −2 and 14.23 R o) than the gradual flare-associated CMEs (6.26 m s −2 and 15.30 R o), even though both sets of events have similar sky-plane speed (space speed) within LASCO field of view. The impulsive flare-associated SEP events (Rt = 989.23 min: 2.86 days) are
