              A fruit seller bought 642 apples. Out of
              these, some were rotten. The rotten apples
              were removed and the remaining apples were
              packed equally in 25 boxes. Find the exact
              number of rotten apples. (Hint: The number
              of rotten apples is less than 20.)
