Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
php7.0-mysql : Depends: php7.0-common (= 7.0.15-1ubuntu4) but 7.0.22-0ubuntu0.17.04.1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
So i tried to install the package manually which shows unmet dependency

Second Day
Managed to fix the previous error with the help of @zapoxkrishna. Now it showing the following error.
There is a MySQL server running, but we failed in our attempts to stop it.
Stop it yourself and try again!
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/mysql-server-5.7_5.7.20-0ubuntu0.17.04.1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/mysql-server-5.7_5.7.20-0ubuntu0.17.04.1_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I manually removed that file using rm command and tried to install again.
Still getting the same error. Kindly advise.
