Basically multi-tasking is related with the OS & hyper-threading with the processors. Multi-tasking means running several tasks simultaneously on processor.But actually OS(operating system) divides the processor-time between various processes or tasks such that it appears that more than one process is running on processor. But in hyper-threading the processor is divided into 2 different sections & each section appears as a different processor to the OS. So, OS is made to believe that there are 2 processors installed in the system.
