Microprocessor
The program counter in a 8085 micro-processor is a 16-bit register, because

 It counts 16-bits at a time
 It has to fetch two 8-bit data at a time
 There are 16 address lines
 It facilitates the user storing 16-bit data temporarily

Cycle stealing mode of DMA operation involves

 The DMA control waiting for the microprocessor to finish execution of the program and then takes over the buses
 Data transfer takes place between the I/O device and memory during every alternate clock cycle
 DMA controller taking over the address, data and control buses while a block of data is transferred between memory and I/O device
 While the microprocessor is executing a program an interface circuit takes over control of address, data, control buses when not in use by microprocessor

The output data lines of microprocessor and memories are usually tristated because

 The data line can be multiplexed for both input and output
 It increases the speed of data transfer over the data bus
 More than one device can transmit over the data bus at the same time
 More than one device can transmit information over the data bus by enabling only one device at a time
