Answer:

Operating system is a system software and it provides a platform on which the application software runs. What that means is OS is the middle man between the application software and the hardware.

It also means that OS provides a level of abstraction and  that the application software engineer wont have to worry about much of the complex hardware stuff going on under the hood. User may use a feature on the application software which internally makes use of system calls.

Can they exist w/o each other? Well, OS can w/o application s/w but it isn't the same for application s/w, but OS alone by itself isn't of much use.

What is the relationship between operating system and application software can they exist without each other​?

Answer :

There is a close relationship between a system software and an application software, but system software is more important in this regard. A system software need not depend on the application software, but for an application software it is necessary that the computer must have system software. No application software can function without system software.

For any computer to function properly, it is necessary to have system software in it. The operating system of a computer is a system software which acts as an interface between the user and the hardware.

System software is the software that helps in running the application software installed on the computer.

System software refers to the entire computer activity, whereas application software is a program designed for a specific task. If the user has to perform any specific task, then by installing the respective application software, he can perform his specific task.

For example, if the user wants to do graphic design, then he can do graphic design by installing the Coroll Draw graphic designing software.

Although system software and application software are complementary to each other, application software is more dependent on system software.
