Squares R4C2 and R6C2 in column 2 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <35>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R2C2 - removing <3> from <237> leaving <27>

R3C2 - removing <3> from <2347> leaving <247>

R7C2 - removing <3> from <3467> leaving <467>

R8C2 - removing <3> from <367> leaving <67>

Squares R8C2 and R8C4 in row 8 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <67>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R8C3 - removing <7> from <137> leaving <13>

R8C7 - removing <7> from <137> leaving <13>

Intersection of row 2 with block 1. The value <7> only appears in one or more of squares R2C1, R2C2 and R2C3 of row 2. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 1. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 1 cannot contain this value.

R3C2 - removing <7> from <247> leaving <24>
