Races and Games

A race is a contest of speed in activities like running, riding, or sailing. Races take place on a race course and have a starting point and winning point or goal. The person who reaches the goal first is the winner. If multiple people reach the goal at the exact same time, it is called a dead heat race. In a race, a competitor can be given a head start of a certain distance or time. In games, the first player to score a set number of points, usually 100, is the winner.

Races and Games

1. Races: A contest of speed in running, riding, driving, sailing or rowing is called a race.
2. Race Course: The ground or path on which contests are made is called a race course.
3. Starting Point: The point from which a race begins is known as a starting point.
4. Winning Point or Goal: The point set to bound a race is called a winning point or a goal.
5. Winner: The person who first reaches the winning point is called a winner.
6. Dead Heat Race: If all the persons contesting a race reach the goal exactly at the same
time, the race is said to be dead heat race.
7. Start: Suppose A and B are two contestants in a race. If before the start of the race, A is
at the starting point and B is ahead of A by 12 metres, then we say that 'A gives B, a start
of 12 metres'.

To cover a race of 100 metres in this case, A will have to cover 100 metres while B will
have to cover only (100 - 12) = 88 metres.

In a 100 race, 'A can give B 12 m' or 'A can give B a start of 12 m' or 'A beats B by 12 m'
means that while A runs 100 m, B runs (100 - 12) = 88 m.

8. Games: 'A game of 100, means that the person among the contestants who scores 100
points first is the winner'.

If A scores 100 points while B scores only 80 points, then we say that 'A can give B 20
points'.
