I can think of several reasons:

1) They don't get an answer or an answer they like the first time asked.
2) Their question gets pushed back a page or two and they want to put it on the first page again, hoping for another response.
3) They don't realize it takes a few minutes for a question to post so they enter it again, thinking it didn't register the first time.
4) They are just trying to annoy.
5) They forget they have posted the question previously.
6)  They enjoy seeing their words on the net.

probably they want a different answer maybe because they want to create a popular question some how probably they wanna keep searching till theyfind what they want

Searching and reading seem to be too hard for some so questions get repeated.

As said some don't like the first answer and look for one they do - doesn't happen often though.
