Your question is incorrect. If you have 128 boxes with 120 to 140 oranges then the worst case scenario is that you have 120,121,122 and so on till 144 oranges in each box, or 25 different numbers. 128/25=5*25+3 so you can have minimum 6 boxes with same amount of oranges. Your question asks about THE MAXIMUM number of boxes with same amount of oranges wich according to the explanation above can be 128-25=103
