Answer #1

(a)To find the best strategy for player A,( here row player) , find Maximum(ie., find minima of row and then select maximum of them) ie., strategy for row player is A2(Optimal/best)

Similarly, to find the best strategy for player B (here column player), find Minimax (i.e find maximum of column and then select minimum of them) ie., strategy for column player is B2 (optimal/best)

(b) Value of game to the colum player = 2

(saddle point(equilibrium point) iff Max(row min) = Min(column max))

(c)

PLayer A(row player) is favoured here because the value of game obtained is positive which shows gain for A. Had it been negative, B would've benefited.

Please leave a like. It'd help me so much. Thanks a lot.
