5. An oil company has a contract to deliver 100000 litres of diesel fuel to a remote northern community (over very rough roads). Each tanker-truck has a capacity of 2400 litres, but a single trailer with capacity of 2200 litres can also be attached to each truck. For safety reasons, all the tankers and the trailers must be completely full on this delivery, since otherwise the fuel would slosh around furiously on the rough roads, causing significant instability for the moving trucks. Find the least number of tankers required to fulfill the contract. Note: each trailer, if used, must be pulled by a full tanker.
