$A$ solution containing active cobalt ${}_{27}^{60}Co$ having activity of $0.8\,\mu Ci$ and decay constant $\lambda$ is injected into an animal's body. If $1\,cm^3$ of blood is drawn from the animal's body after $10\,hrs$ of injection,the activity found is $300\,decays$ per minute. What is the total volume of blood in the animal's body in litres? (Given: $1\,Ci = 3.7 \times 10^{10}$ decays per second and at $t = 10\,hrs$,$e^{-\lambda t} = 0.84$)
