MCQOPTIONS

1.	The age of the Shroud of Turin in determined by radiocarbon dating. A Geiger counter measures 12 counts per minute (c.p.m.) in a sample of the shroud compared to 15.4 c.p.m. from carbon-14 in a living organism. If the half life is 5760 years, what is the age of the shroud in years? The radioactive decay of carbon-14 follows first order kinetics.
A.	5760
B.	674
C.	20 x 10-4
D.	330
