Question

While diging the earth parts of the body of plants and animals are obtained, we can fossils. Age of this fossil is determined by which method?

• A. Radio active system
• B. Carbon dating system
• C. Fossil system
• D. Radio dating system

Answer 1

The correct option is B Carbon dating system

While doing the earth parts of the body of plants and animals are obtained, we can fossils. Age of this fossil is determined by carbon dating system. It is also called as radiocarbon dating. It is a method for determining the age of an organism having organic material. It is done by using the properties of radiocarbon, a radioactive isotope of carbon. Carbon-14 decays at a constant rate. Hence, by measuring the amount of its residual radiocarbon, it is possible to estimate the date at which an organism died.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Carbon dating system.'
