2. Consider the following statements regarding Radiocarbondating, which of the following is untrue?
1. Radiocarbon dating (also referred to as carbon dating or carbon-14 dating) is a method for determining the age of an object containing organic material by using the properties of radiocarbon (14C), a radioactive isotope of carbon.
2. The method was developed by Willard Lullaby
3. In nature, carbon exists as two stable, nonradioactive isotopes: carbon-12 (12C), and carbon-13 (13C)
4. Carbon-14 (14C), is also known as "radiocarbon".
Answer - 2

4. Consider the statements regarding the simple harmonic motion
1. It is a type of periodic motion where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement and acts in the direction opposite to that of displacement.
2. Faraday's law has stated the definition of simple harmonic motion
3. For one-dimensional simple harmonic motion, the equation of motion, which is a second-order linear ordinary differential equation with constant coefficients, can be obtained by means of Newton's second law.
4. The common example of SHM is Mass on spring.
Answer - 2
