    A wooden box excavated from Indus valley had an activity of \[1.18\times {{10}^{13}}\] disintegration per minute per gm. Of carbon. What is the approximate age of this civilisation?

    A)  \[4000years\]

    B)  \[5700years\]

    C)  \[8100years\]

    D)  \[6000years\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    We know that, \[\frac{dN}{dt}=\lambda .N\] \[\therefore \] \[1.18\times {{10}^{13}}=\frac{1}{T}\times \frac{1}{12}\times 6.023\times {{10}^{23}}\] or    \[T=\frac{6.023\times {{10}^{23}}}{1.18\times {{10}^{13}}\times 12}\text{minutes}\] \[T=\frac{6.23\times {{10}^{23}}}{1.18\times {{10}^{13}}\times 12\times 60\times 24\times 365}years\] \[=8100years\]
