Earthing mins it is connected to dead parts like enclosure, machine body, base frame, etc. it does not carries current in under normal condition. used as a current path for fault condition, so it become safety for eqnt and human being.
Grounding is connected to live part. it gives return path for machine to power source. it carries current in normal condition. for example grounded star connected power transformer and star connected motor neutral.

54 Comments Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression N = 38 + X*(Y – Z) where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable. Assuming both play to their optimal strategies, the value of N at the end of the game would be?
