Answer / jayasuriya
Multitasking implies time sharing, its like a single person
doing different jobs, obviously at different time slices.
Multiprocessing involves some amount of parallelism, if the
hardware supports (eg: dual core, hyper threading etc.)

Answer / santhosh kumar. r
Ya, both are different. MultiTasking is rinning different
tasks on the same process, Ex:- Opening different tabs on
Mozilla Firefox, here a process with Mozilla.exe is the
single process in running state and different tabs opened
are tasks.
But Multiprocessing is running different
processes at the same time,some what like running
mozilla,iexplorer and mediaplayer. Here each process
occupies different memory and terminate seperately.

Answer / boss
Please be sure with the terminology here. No confusion abt Multitaking. But the second one, is it Multiprocess or multiprocessing ?? If you meant to say multiprocessing ANS#3 above is the correct response. If it is multiprocessing, ANS#8 gives you the right response to an extent.
Task, Process and thread: all these terms have their own meaning depending upon the OS. In General, this is what it is.
Task is a general term. A task can be a Process or a Thread.
Process is a program in execution and it has its own memory.
Threads are created and run in the context a process. A process can have multiple threads.
Ex for Process: MS Word, Notepad, calculator ete etc
Ex for threads: Within MSword, there will be multiple threads. One for grammar checking, one for formatting, one for printing etc etc.
Hope this gives you some idea in general.
