How do Fragment's replace and add methods work differently, and is there any real life scenario where we would need these methods for specific purposes.

The important difference is:
replace removes the existing fragment and adds a new fragment..
but add retains the existing fragments and adds a new fragment that means existing fragment will be active and they wont be in 'paused' state hence when a back button is pressed onCreateView() is not called for the existing fragment(the fragment which was there before new fragment was added).

do u mean that existing fragment will be in paused state ?
fragmentTransaction.replace(int containerViewId, Fragment fragment, String tag)
Description - It replace an existing fragment that was added to a container. This is essentially the same as calling remove(Fragment) for all currently added fragments that were added with the same containerViewId and then add(int, Fragment, String) with the same arguments given here.
fragmentTransaction.add(int containerViewId, Fragment fragment, String tag)
Description - It add a fragment to the activity state. This fragment may optionally also have its view (if Fragment.onCreateView returns non-null) into a container view of the activity.
