I would really appreciate if you give me proper use of this word.Should I use "aim at" and what about after "aim at" infinitive or gerund.Please make it clear for me. I will be very thankful

You don't need to put quotation marks around all your example sentences; focus instead on correct internal punctuation. These are OK: I don't know where she was aiming in saying that . I don ' t know what the aim was of her saying that .
