Hi Akshay!

To achieve the desired layout try the following CSS and delete the heading rules you already wrote. Those are ineffective, because there is nothing in your html code that has a heading class assigned.

* {
  box-sizing: border-box;   
}

h3.left {
  float: left; 
  text-align: center;
  width: 33.3%;  /* h3 is a block element that occupies the entire width of its parent element. thus set its width to something smaller */
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

span.title {
  text-align: center;
  display: inline-block;
  width: 100%;
  font-weight: bold;
  font-size: 1.17em;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

p.right {
  width: 66.7%;
  float: right;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0 5%;
  text-align: justify;
}

.clear:after {
    content: ".";
    clear: both;
    display: block;
    visibility: hidden;
    height: 0px;
}

change your html like this:

<h3 class="left">HTML</h3>
<p class="right clear"><span class="title">New</span>some text</p>

Hope this helped!
