//if you have any query then comment below.please rate the answer

In Operating system the race condition occurs when the two or more threads(process) can access same (shared) data and they try to change it at the same time.

It is happening because the thread scheduling algorithm can swap between threads at the any time, you don't know the order in which the threads will attempt to access the shared data. Therefore, the result of the change in data is dependent on the thread scheduling algorithm, then the both treads want to change the data that's why it is called race condition.
yes, we need to avoid it and use serialization of memory or storage access. This means if read and write commands are received close together, the read command is executed and completed first by default.
