Two operating systems can be ran on the some computer provided that the computer's hard drive it broken down into more then one partition or there is more then one drive on the computer. There is a setting with in Windows that gives you a change log into an alternate operating system with in a set time frame or it will automatically log into Windows. You will not be able to run two operating systems on the same partition due to the fact that only one can load at a time. Also you need have a way of separating the file structures for each operating system. Some operating systems such as ubuntu will also let you access files from either operating if the drive has the right number of partitions.

What is a single user multi tasking operating system?

The two concepts build upon each other. A single tasking (ST) operating system is necessarily a single user (SU) operating system, but a single user operating system may be a multi-tasking (MT) operating system. For example, MS-DOS is a SU, ST operating system (there was only one "user" and only one program could run at a time), Microsoft Windows 3.1 was a SU, MT operating system (only one user could be logged in at a time, but multiple tasks could run at once), and Windows XP is a multiple user (MU), MT system, as multiple users could be logged in at once, and multiple tasks could be run at once. There is no known example of a MU, ST operating system.
