Consider the following statements
1. Carbon - 14 dating can determine the age of an artifactd, that is up to 40000 year old.
2. After burning a small piece of an artifact, scientists compare the amount of Carbon−14 to the amount of Carbon−12 to determine the age of the object.
Which of the statements given above is/ are correct?

1.Carbon - 14 dating can determine the age of an artifactd, that is up to 40000 year old : Carbon-14 dating can determine the age of an artifact that is up to 40,000 years old. Living organisms absorb carbon my eating and breathing. After burning a small piece of an artifact, scientists compare the amount of Carbon-14 to the amount of Carbon-12 to determine the age of the object.
