CAT 2003 | Question: 1-127
Each side of a given polygon is parallel to either the X or the Y axis. A corner of such a polygon is said to be convex if the internal angle is $90^{\circ}$ or concanve if the internal angle is $270^{\circ}$. If the number of convex corners in such a polygon is $25,$ the number of concave corners must be $20$ $0$ $21$ $22$
