Is the property of 10 cents of land acquired by her or ancestral? As the woman did not get a divorce from her husband, the husband also has an equal share with his daughter.

Mere separation does not deprive the husband of his share in the property.

That 10 cents of land was given to her by her father. Not sure whether her father bought it or it was given to him by his forefathers. She left her husbands house in a few months after marriage because difference in opinion. Before her daughter was born he was living with another woman and he has children with the second woman without divorcing her. She was living in her father's house and all expenses were paid by her father till his death. Her husband did not give her any money till her death though he gets pension. All medical expenses and day to day expenses for her was spent by her daughter. But still should he be given a share in her property after her death? Is there any way to deny him right over that property by law.

This property appears to be self acquired property of the mother of the person who you refer here.
Since her mother was not legally divorced, her husband being a legal heir to her mother is entitled to half share in the property at par with the daughter.
The daughter has to first obtain a legal heirship certificate including her father after which she can follow the legal procedures to transfer the property from her mother's name.

Generally both of you are entitled to succeed your husband as per personal laws applicable in your case. Being an "Anonymous" author of the query, we cannot presume as to whether you are Hindu, Muslim, Christian or following any other religion.
