Answer:


\textsf{We are given all the values from one diagonal, i.e. 0, 0.1 and 0.2.}\\\textsf{The sum of these values is 0.3.}


\textsf{So for first row:}\\\sf{0.4+\square_(1st\ row)+0.2=0.3}\\\sf{or,\ \square_(1st\ row) = -0.3 }


\textsf{For the second row:}\\\sf{\square_(2nd\ row)+0.1+0.3=0.3}\\\textsf{or, }\square_(2nd row)=-0.1


\textsf{For the third row:}\\\sf{0+0.5+\square_(3rd\ row)=0.3}\\\textsf{or, }\square_(3rd\ row)=-0.2
