Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 17280 years

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given. Half-life of \(\mathrm{C}^{4}, t_{1 / 2}=5760\) years Initial concentration of sample of \(\mathrm{C}^{4}, \mathrm{N}_{0}=200 \mathrm{mg}\) Final concentration of sample of \(\mathrm{C}^{4}, \mathrm{N}_{1}=2 \mathrm{S} \mathrm{mg}\) The given decay is radioactive and all…
