$A$ piece of bone of an animal from a ruin is found to have $^{14}C$ activity of $12$ disintegrations per minute per gm of its carbon content. The $^{14}C$ activity of a living animal is $16$ disintegrations per minute per gm. How long ago nearly did the animal die? (Given half-life of $^{14}C$ is $t_{1/2} = 5760$ years)
