Solution

The correct option is B $_{1}^{1} H$
As half life of $_{1}^{1} H$ is not very high and not very low, it would be better to measure age by this isotope.

Constituents of wine are carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Half-lives of 613C,15O and 3H are respectively 5730 years, 124 s and 12.5 years. a bottle of wine was sealed about 6 years ago. To Confirm its age, which of the isotopes would you choose to determine its age?

The correct option is B 11HAs half life of 11H is not very high and not very low, it would be better to measure age by this isotope.
