When should you use lookup instead of a master-detail relationship in Salesforce?

Hi Prachi,
It would totally depend on your requirement on what will help you achieve your target.
If you want the child to be deleted, go for master-detail.
If you want the child to inherit the sharing setting of the parent, go for master-detail.
If the child required to have a mandatory parent, go for master-detail (though this can be implemented using lookups as well) otherwise go for lookup.Thanks.

The key difference is master-detail has a direct dependency between the objects:
You cannot have a detail record without a master.
The detail record inherits sharing rules from the master.
You cannot update the relationship to the master in a master-detail relationship.
The number of master-detail relationships you can use are limited.
You cannot set profile object permissions for a detail record
Master-detail relationships are automatically included in report record types
