The stagger in the 400 meter dash are the different starting points around the first curve that each runner lines up on. Because the track is oval, having everyone start at the same line would be unfair to those running in the lanes outside of lane 1. Basically, the further out you would start, the further you would have to run. for example, By having the starting point for each lane start futher up ,or staggered, around the first turn ensures that all the runners are running the same distance.

Is stagger in 200 mt and 400 mt same and why?
The stagger between starting positions of the 200m and the 400m race are the same. They are the same due to the fact that the stagger has to do with making the distance each racer is running equal. Therfore unless you are running them, on a different track with different width lanes then the stagger will be the same due to its simple mathematical solution.
