Race conditions arises when multiple processes are working on shared resource which leads to impredictable results. We synchronize there access whenever such situation arises.Take a simple example Person A , Person B, Person C are living together in a room and all want a cup of tea,Person A saw there was no milk in refrigrator he goes to buy one without informing others mean while B came and found no milk he also goes for it without informing and similarly C so at the end when they came total milk =03 packets err...... race condition.
