उत्तर
Whenever we are using an old machine, and it starts malfunctioning, we find ourselves facing an important question. Should the machine be repaired or should it be replaced?
Many a times, if the malfunctioning is on a very minimal scale, it is ignored. But if it is causing a problem, we get it repaired. An old machine had already been repaired quite a lot of times in order to maintain it and to use the same machine instead of buying a new one. But what needs to be thought of and considered, is that sometimes machines get spoilt frequently as they get old and eventually it can be seen that more money has been spent in order to repair the old machine than what was needed to buy the machine. In order to save money and to have a more efficiently and properly functioning machine, the old machine could always be replaced by a new one, thus saving the costs for the repairing of the old machine as well as increasing the efficiency of the machine.Thus, sometimes replacing old machines with new is better than getting them repaired.
