Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFConcept:
Sleeper density is denoted as n + x.
Here n + x denotes the number of sleepers to be used for one rail length.
n = length of one rail.
Calculation:
Given Data:
Sleeper density = n + 4
Length of one rail = 13 m ⇒ n + 4 = 17
⇒ 17 sleepers are required for 13 m
For 1 m, number of sleepers required \(= \frac{{17}}{{13}}\) = 1.308
For 1 km, the number of sleepers required \(= \frac{{17}}{{13}} \times 1000 = 1307.69\) ≈ 1308 Numbers.Last updated on Jul 1, 2025
