Wooden article and freshly cut tree show activity 7.6 and 15.2 `min""^(-1)g""^(-1)` of carbon (`t""_(1//2)=5760`year) respectively. The age of the article is a)5760 year b)`5760xx15.2/7.6year` c)`5760xx7.6/15.2year` d)`5760xx15.2-7.6year`

A

5760

B

`5760 xx ((15.2)/(7.6))`

C

`5760 xx ((7.6)/(15.2))`

D

`5760 xx (15.2-7.6)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Since the activity of wooden article is half of activity of freshly cut free, age of the article is `t_(1//2)=5760` years
