Hi, in this session we will be learning the concepts of Linear Races. Now when it comes to Linear

Races there are some terminologies that you need to be familiar with. And this session is all about

making our acquaintance with these terms, right.

Let’s see, the first terminology is A gives B a start of 10 meters. Now what does this mean, A gives B

a start of 10 meters. First of all they are starting together, but A gives B a start of 10 meters, means

he allows B to run for 10 meters before he starts the race. Something like this, so B starts initially, A

allows him to run for 10 meters, only then he starts the race. This is what it means, A gives B a start

of 10 meters, right. Let’s go to the second terminology, A gives B a start of 10 seconds. Now this is

something similar to the earlier one, except that in the earlier case the reference was with respect to

distance and in this case it was with reference to time, which means the two of them start and A

allows B to run for 10 seconds before he starts the race. Look at it, B runs for 10 seconds only then A

starts the race. So he allows B to run for 10 seconds before he starts the race, that’s what is A gives B

a start of 10 seconds, right. Now, let’s look at two more terms, A beats B by 10 meters. Now what

does this mean, A beats B by 10 meters.
