I've been a regular at the gym for about 6 months now. However whenever I'm doing biceps and triceps (I do them on the same day) they get sore quickly and I can't exercise much longer. What is the solution to this? My workout program involves one bicep exercise followed by one tricep exercise:
Alternate Bicep Curls 10x3
Tricep Rope Pushdown 10x3
Alternate Hammer Curls 10x3
Skull Crushers 10x3
Preacher Curls 10x3
Tricep overhead extention 10x3
Barbell Curls 10x3
Reverse grip tricep pushdown 10x3
Question 2: During tricep pushdown I sometimes feel some discomfort in my elbow and reverse grip tricep pushdown cause discomfort in my wrists, am I doing them wrong?

You could change your workout routine to something that doesn't have a day entirely for arms, but regardless, you should reduce your volume if you can't get halfway through your arm workout. Although high volume may work for some, you personally don't need 40 sets of 3 reps each for biceps and triceps (or 12 sets of 10 reps each either, depending on what you meant).
Hard to say without seeing a video, but lowering the weight likely will help and not doing so much volume that you can't finish your workout.

I do pushups but I can only do 3 or maximum 4. Then I do a few more assisted pushups.
By reducing volume you mean I should reduce my reps and sets? If I want muscle growth and peak how will this look for bicep:
Barbell Curls 8x3 (3 sets of 8 reps each)I start of with a 20kg barbell then reduce it to 15kg
Alternate Dumbell Curls: 8x3 (3 sets of 8 reps) with 10kg Dumbell
Seated Dumbell Curls: 8x3 (3 sets of 8 reps)

You're missing the bigger picture - at your level you don't need an arm day w/ 4 diff curl variations for 3 sets each, which is why you can't even get through your workout. This obviously isn't working for you.
As mentioned above, at this stage you'd likely get better bicep development if you focused on pullups/pulldowns/rows - then w/ 1-2 curl exercises or none at all.
