Answer

16 sectors

Work Step by Step

There are 10 lines of 100 integers each in one page, so one page contains $10\times100 = 1000$ integers. In two page there will be 2000 integers. Each integer requires 4 bytes so 2000 integers will require $4\times2000 = 8000$ bytes. One sector has 512 bytes. So the number of sectors required will be - $8000\div512 = 15.626$ Hence at least 16 sectors will be required.
