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 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)
