View full question & answer→In first column, $M + 1 = 8$ Clearly,
$M = 7$ In second column,
$L + M = 1 L + 7 = 1$ The value of $L$ can be $4$ In third column,
$2 + L + 1 = M 2 + 4 + 1 = 7 7 = 7$
so the third column is satisfied for $L = 4, M = 7$
Hence, $L = 4$ and $M = 7$
$M = 7$ In second column,
$L + M = 1 L + 7 = 1$ The value of $L$ can be $4$ In third column,
$2 + L + 1 = M 2 + 4 + 1 = 7 7 = 7$
so the third column is satisfied for $L = 4, M = 7$
Hence, $L = 4$ and $M = 7$
