Solution
Carbon dating is best suited for determining the age of fossils if their age in years is of the order of 10,000 years. This is because fossil older than this are destroyed due to time factor. The tracks that are built by the rays are destroyed. For fossil earlier then this the tracks are so small that it cannot be measured with accuracy
