Something this is what you need

        String sentence = "hello what is your name";
        String[] words = sentence.split(" ");
        for(int i = 0; i<words.length; i++){
            if(words[i].equals("Your String")){
                words[i] = "Your New String";
            }
        }

        String newSentence = "";
        for(int i = 0; i<words.length; i++){
            newSentence += words[i];
        }

As the question is not clear,I assume that this part is not working Amith.replace("{Name}", Questions[i]); meaning that the string amith is not getting replaced.you need to do Amith=Amith.replace("{Name}", Questions[i]); As String is immutable,The result of String.replace() is a new String with the replaced value.

Resources res = getResources ();
String []Questions=res. getStringArray (R.array.faq_ques);

int Questions_Array_length = Questions .length;
for(i=0;i<Questions_Array_length;i++)
{
  String    Amith= "hi how r u {Name}";
  Amith=Amith.replace("{Name}", Questions[i]);
}
