[1]=15
[2]=10
[3]=17
[4]=12
[5]=4

As it is given that 9 table have salt bottles
salt+pepper=1
salt+sugar=1
3 all of them
so altogether is 5 deducted from 9
salt only=9-5=4
Total table=32-(4+1+1+1+3)=22
pepper+sugar=22 ........eq1
pepper-sugar=2 .........eq2
pepper only=12
sugar only=10

so other table contain pepper and sugar add with pepper only and sugar only
pepper=12+(1+1+3)=17
sugar=10+(1+1+3)=15
