Pakistan railway is required to replace damaged sleepers from one of its heavily trafficked sections. The section under consideration was constructed by using rails of approximately 60ft length. Total length of this section is 100km. Assuming that the section was built by using maximum possible sleeper density, what would be the number of sleepers per rail length? If 100.000.00 sleepers are in healthy condition, determine the number of sleepers that are required to be replaced in this 100km section.
