You can use the @Input and @Output decorator to achieve the required output:

Changes:

In parent Component:

HTML Code:

<div>
  <table *ngIf="isVisible === true">
    <tr>
      <th>
        Id
      </th>
      <th>
        name
      </th>
      <th>
        username
      </th>
      <th>
        email
      </th>
    </tr>
    <tr *ngFor="let data of userInformation">
      <td>{{data.id}}
      </td>
      <td>{{data.name}}
      </td>
      <td>{{data.username}}
      </td>
      <td>{{data.email}}
      </td>
      <td>
        <a (click)="onSelect(data)">Go to
        </a>
      </td>
    </tr>
  </table>

  <div *ngIf="isVisible === false">
    <app-test-child [userInfo]="clickedUser" (notify)="backToList($event)"></app-test-child>
  </div>
</div>

TS Code:

Local variables:

userInformation: any;
isVisible : boolean = true;
clickedUser: any;

Two functions in the parent component:

onSelect(data)
{
   this.isVisible = false;
   this.clickedUser = data;
}

backToList(flag) {
  this.isVisible = flag;
  console.log(flag)
}

In Child Component:

HTML code:

<table>
  <tr>
    <th>
      Id
    </th>
    <th>
      name
    </th>
    <th>
      username
    </th>
    <th>
      email
    </th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>{{clickedUser.id}}
    </td>
    <td>{{clickedUser.name}}
    </td>
    <td>{{clickedUser.username}}
    </td>
    <td>{{clickedUser.email}}
    </td>
    <td>
      <a (click)="backToList()">Back
      </a>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

TS Code:

import { Component, OnInit, Input, EventEmitter, Output } from '@angular/core';


@Input() userInfo: any;
@Output() notify: EventEmitter<any> = new EventEmitter<any>();

clickedUser: any;

constructor() { }

ngOnInit() {
  this.clickedUser = this.userInfo;
}

backToList() {
  var flag = true;
  this.notify.emit(flag);
}

Answer 2

try this

In HTML update

<a routerLink="/conflict-details/conflict" (click)="onSelect(data)">Go to 
        </a> 

to

<a (click)="onSelect(data)">Go to 
            </a> 

In Parent Component

import { Router } from '@angular/router';

export class ParentComponent implements OnInit {
   constructor(private router: Router) {
   }
   onSelect(data) {
      this.router.config.find(r => r.component == ChildComponent).data = data;
      this.router.navigate(["/conflict-details/conflict"]);
   }
}

In Child Component

import { ActivatedRoute } from '@angular/router';

export class ChildComponent implements OnInit {
   SentItem : any;
   constructor(private router: ActivatedRoute) { }
   ngOnInit() {
      this.router.data.subscribe(r=>this.SentItem =r);
  }
}
