In the case of process synchronisation, if we avoid race conditions then no two processes can enter in the critical section. If more than one process can enter the critical section then inconsistent results may come which cause race conditions.

Critical section is the part of program code where the program changes global variables, writing files etc. So entering more than one process in their critical section may cause race condition.

If the order of execution of process determines the final state of a shared resource it's called race condition.
So, a better way to avoid is, do execution one after one.

Race condition is that condition when two or more process are using the same data or shared resource and they all try to make change in that at the same time.

Race condition brings in the idea of critical section. Race condition occurs when two threads try to access the shared data and change it at the same time.

A situation in which multiple processes read and write a shared data item and the final result depends on the relative timing of their execution.

The critical section allows only one process and executes wait() until the process is completed hence there can be one process.

Entering more than one process in their critical section may cause race condition. So only one process entering at a time.

Final output of any variable depends on the execution sequence of the process. This condition is called as Race Condition.

Race condition also known like a deadlock problem by the form threads.
