For windows machine 
Go to the tomcat directory C:\apache-tomcat-x.0.xx\bin
    bin>version.bat
    Using CATALINA_BASE:   "C:\apache-tomcat-x.0.xx"
    Using CATALINA_HOME:   "C:\apache-tomcat-x.0.xx"
    Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: "C:\apache-tomcat-x.0.xx\temp"
    Using JRE_HOME:        "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_65"
    Using CLASSPATH:       "C:\apache-tomcat-x.0.xx\bin\bootstrap.jar;C:\apache-tomcat-x.0.xx\bin\tomcat-juli.jar"
    Server version: Apache Tomcat/7.0.53





For Linux Machine 
Go to the tomcat directory /usr/mack/apache-tomcat-x.0.xx/bin
    # ./version.sh
    Using CATALINA_BASE:   /usr/mack/apache-tomcat-x.0.xx

If Tomcat is installed as a service:

#sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat version
