Veena decided to sell her collection of books.


To Fiaz, she sold 2 books, and one fifth of what was left.


Later to John she sold 6 books, and one fifth of what then remained.


If she sold more books to Fiaz than to John,


what was the least possible number of books in her original collection ?
