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. Nearly, how long ago did the animal die? (Given half life of $^{14} C$ is $t_{\frac{1}{2}} = 5760 y e a r s)$
