= Solution

The <independent random variables> have a product <joint probability mass function>. For <integers> $r,t\geq0$,
$$
\boxed{\mathbb P(X=r,Y=t)=e^{-(\lambda+\mu)}\frac{\lambda^r\mu^t}{r!\,t!}.}
$$
It is zero for all other pairs. The factors are the respective <Poisson distribution> masses, with the product justified by <independence>.
