A)
Z-8000
B)
Z-8088
C)
Z-80
D)
Motorola 6809

Correct Answer :   Z-80

Z-80 is a 8-bit chip was used in many of Tandy's TRS-80 computers
 
The TRS-80 Micro Computer System (TRS-80, later renamed the Model I to distinguish it from successors) is a desktop microcomputer launched in 1977 and sold by Tandy Corporation through their Radio Shack stores. The name is an abbreviation of Tandy/Radio Shack, Z-80 microprocessor. It was one of the earliest mass-produced and mass-marketed retail personal computers.
 
The TRS-80 featured a full-stroke QWERTY keyboard, the new Zilog Z80 processor (rather than the more common Intel 8080), 4 KB DRAM standard memory (when many 8-bit computers shipped with only 1 KB RAM), small size and desk footprint, floating-point BASIC programming language, standard 64-character/line video monitor, and a starting price of US$600[1] (equivalent to US$2400 in 2017).

The accuracy of the floating point numbers representable in two 16 bit words of a computer is approximately
A)
4 digits
B)
6 digits
C)
16 digits
D)
None of the above

Correct Answer :   6 digits

The smallest change in a decimal number that can be portrayed by floating-point representation is called precision. The fractional part has exactly 24 bits of implied resolution. Accuracy, on the other hand, is the floating-point number represented by the number of prominent bits in which the range of after decimal is limited.
 
There are some standards to define very few special floating-point bit pattern zeroes which at the most can have only a single bit hence it can be normalized, the hidden but it is often represented by technique for storing zero.
