Most 8-bit ISA cards should work in a 16-bit slot (unless they are hardwired to an incompatible IRQ or have a skirt on them). Some 16-bit ISA cards can operate in an 8-bit slot, but most will not.

What is the instruction format of 8085?

An instruction is a command to the microprocessor to perform a given task on specified data. Each instruction has two parts: One is task to be performed,called the operation code (opcode). Second is the data to be operated on, called the operand. It can be specified in various ways,it may include 8bit/16bit data, an internal register, a memory location , or 8bit/16bit address. In some instructions, the operand is implicit. The 8085 instruction set is classified into three groups according to Word size. They are- 1. One word / 1 byte instructions 2.

Which of the the following is not a CPU operating mode 16-bit 32-bit 48-bit 64-bit?

48bit does not belong in the list. In relation to desktop computers, it goes: 8bit, 16bit, 32bit, 64bit, 128bit... It refers to the internal design of the microprocessor. 8bit was the original register width in the first generation of computers etched into a single chip. The register size doubles from previous generations to their successors. It's not that a 48bit computer cannot be designed and manufactured, it's more of a decision to expand the capacity of the machine by copying the current design next to the existing hardware and weaving the original and copy together.
